Rationale 1: Only high-risk drugs (e.g., insulin) need to be validated with another nurse. It is okay to validate any drug with another nurse if the nurse giving the medications wants a second opinion.
Rationale 2: Nurses should always account for patient variables such as age, weight, and any diagnostic studies that may impact the administration of medication.
Rationale 3: Requiring a written medication order also reduces the possibility of an error related to similar-sounding drug names.
Rationale 4: This will address one of the 10 rights of drug administration to prevent errors.
Rationale 5: Medications should never be documented on the MAR until they have been administered. Documenting anything prior to the actual event is false documentation.
