Which statement by the LVN indicates correct practice when an IV medication label differs from the MAR?

Rationale: A. Administering the medication despite a discrepancy is unsafe and violates the “five rights” of medication administration. Administering without verification can lead to medication errors, adverse reactions, or under/overdosing. B. Changing the MAR to match the label without verification is inappropriate because it could propagate an error. The MAR must reflect the correct, verified order from the provider, not assumptions made by the nurse. C. Holding the medication and clarifying the discrepancy before administration is correct. This demonstrates safe practice, adherence to the “five rights,” and patient safety. The nurse should contact the prescribing provider or pharmacy to verify the correct medication, dose, and schedule before giving it to the client. D. Asking the client which dose they usually take is unsafe. Clients may not know the exact prescribed dose or frequency, and relying on their input instead of the provider’s order can lead to errors.
