Answer 1

Ans: B, C, D
Feedback:
The nurse should always record immediately on the MAR after drug administration. The nurse should never remove a drug from an unlabeled container, give a drug that someone else prepared, or crush tablets or open capsules without consulting a pharmacist. The drug's unit dose wrapper should remain on until the nurse arrives at the client's bedside.
