    A nurse is teaching a class about medication reconciliation. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "Do not perform reconciliation for a client at discharge from a health care facility": Medication reconciliation is essential at discharge to ensure clients have the correct medications and avoid errors. B. "Provide a list of the client's current medications during admission to a health care facility": A comprehensive list of current medications must be gathered at admission. This ensures that prescribed medications are consistent with what the client is already taking, helping to identify potential interactions or discrepancies. C. "Provide a list of the client's current medications during the change of shift report": While communication during shift change is important, medication reconciliation is typically done at admission, transfer, and discharge, not during routine shift reports. D. "Do not include over-the-counter medications in the medication reconciliation report": Over-the-counter medications must be included in the reconciliation process. They can interact with prescribed medications and affect treatment outcomes.
