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

Rationale: A. Ask the client which dose they usually take is incorrect because the client is not a reliable source for verifying IV medication dosages. Medication administration must always follow the provider’s order and MAR, not patient memory or preferences. B. Administer it anyway because the order was placed yesterday is incorrect because administering a medication with a label that does not match the MAR is unsafe. Doing so could result in medication errors, overdosing, or underdosing, which can be harmful or fatal. C. Change the MAR to match the label is incorrect because the MAR is a legal document reflecting the provider’s order. Altering it without proper verification is unsafe and violates policy. D. Hold the medication and clarify the discrepancy before administration is correct. The LVN should verify the correct medication, dose, and route with the provider or pharmacy before giving the IV medication. This ensures patient safety and adherence to the “five rights” of medication administration (right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, right time).
