To detect any possible transcription errors, before administering medications the nurse will
 
  1. Compare the order on the medication administration record (MAR) with the prescriber's original order.
  2. Telephone the prescriber and review each medication order with him or her.
  3. Have another nurse verify that the MAR is written correctly.
  4. Have the unit secretary double-check all transcribed orders.

Question 2

The nurse has inserted the Vacutainer needle into the patient's left median cubital vein, but when the tube is activated, it does not fill with blood. The nurse correctly suspects that
 
  1. There is no suction in the evacuator tube.
  2. The bevel of the needle is damaged in some way.
  3. The evacuated tube is too small.
  4. The tourniquet is apparently too tight to allow blood to enter the tube.
