Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Administering a medication at a time not specified by the physician violates the "right time" for safe medication administration. However, in this situation, administering the medication early may be necessary to address the client's anxiety and prevent further complications. It is important for the nurse to document the reason for administering the medication early and obtain verbal or written orders from the physician if possible.
