After administering a medication, you must ensure that the patient:
A) is not allergic to the medication
B) does not have a reaction to the medication
C) lies still for at least 15 minutes without moving
D) does not drive a car for at least 15 minutes
B) does not have a reaction to the medication
After administering a medication, you must make sure the patient does not have a reaction to it. A patient should never be allowed to leave without this occurring. Determining a potential allergy to the medication must always be checked before administering the medication. Having the patient lie still is not a realistic scenario for most medications, and only certain medications create the scenario that requires a patient to not drive a car immediately after their administration.
