Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After checking the name band and the MAR, the nurse should use a second method, such as asking the client to state their name and date of birth or checking their identification with their medical record, to confirm the client's identity before administering the medication. This helps to prevent medication errors and ensure client safety.
