The nurse prepares prescribed medications using procedures to ensure patient safety,including selecting correct supplies,administering medication by the correct route,educating patients regarding medications prescribed,and documenting in chart all aspects of medication administration.To improve the accuracy of patient identification,it is now recommended that two patient identifiers,neither of which is the room number,be used when administering medications.Best practice would be to look at the patient's name band for identity and to request that the patient state his or her name and birth date.
