Which acronym indicates the steps involved in proper medication administration checks to avoid errors?

C.H.E.C.K.
M.E.D.S.
S.A.F.E.T.Y.
R.I.G.H.T.

The correct answer is: C.H.E.C.K.

The correct answer is A. C.H.E.C.K. C.H.E.C.K. stands for the steps involved in proper medication administration checks to avoid errors. Each letter in the acronym represents a crucial step: - **C: Client Information**: Verify client identification details and ensure you have the correct client. - **H: History and Allergies**: Check the client's medical history and any known allergies to ensure safe medication administration. - **E: Essential Information**: Review vital information regarding the medication, such as dosage, frequency, route, and any special instructions. - **C: Communication**: Communicate effectively with the healthcare team and the client to ensure a collaborative approach to medication administration. - **K: Knowledge**: Utilize your knowledge and expertise to double-check everything before proceeding with medication administration. Options B, C, and D do not represent the specific steps involved in the medication administration checks like the C.H.E.C.K. acronym does.
