Question: 1 / 50

When should a nurse perform the final medication check before administering a pre-packaged oral medication to a client?

Right after taking the medication out of the storage

At the nurse's station

At the client's bedside before administration

Performing the final medication check at the client's bedside before administration is the safest and most effective option. Option A (right after taking the medication out of storage) is incorrect because the nurse should already have completed the necessary checks and verification before bringing the medication to the bedside. Option B (at the nurse's station) is also incorrect because the final check needs to be done at the client's bedside to ensure the right medication is being given to the right patient. Option D (after the medication has been administered) is incorrect because the final check should be done before administering the medication to avoid any potential errors or mistakes.

After the medication has been administered
