Medication reconciliation should include all medications the client is taking, whether they are prescription, over-the-counter, or alternative therapies. This includes occasional use medications like ibuprofen (A), supplements like powdered vitamin C (B), alternative therapies like essential oils (C), and prescription medications for chronic conditions like osteoporosis (E). Fortified foods, such as milk with vitamin D (D), are not typically considered in medication reconciliation unless the client is taking it as a specific supplement for a medical condition under a healthcare provider's advice.
