Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C, E
Feedback:
Client identifiers can include visual and verbal methods. Visual methods include use of a recent picture of the client or client wristband. Verbal methods include asking the client for his or her name and another unique identifier, such as his or her birth date. Never ask a client, Are you Mr. Jones? because some clients may respond by answering yes even though that is not their name due to confusion or difficulty hearing. Checking the client's chart would be inappropriate to use for identifying the client.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C, D
Feedback:
The nurse compares the medication, container label, and medication record and then the MAR as the item is removed from the cart and before the actual administration of the drug.
