Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Only administering medications that the healthcare provider has prepared ensures the correct dosage and medication is given to the client. Giving clients unlabeled medications from the pharmacy is not safe, as the medication could be incorrect or the client could have an allergy to certain ingredients. Rinsing off a pill could damage the integrity of the medication and is not a recommended practice. Leaving medication with a family member also puts the responsibility and potential risk on someone who may not be trained in administering medications.
