The nurse scans the barcodes on each medication or intravenous solution; the computer checks the electronic order and warns the nurse of any discrepancies. If the medication dose, route, and time match the order for the patient, the nurse can then administer the medication to th e patient. The nurse completes the documentation, confirming that the medication has been administered.
