Feedback:
Clients have the right to know the name, action, and possible side effects of medications administered to them. They also have the right to refuse to take medications, unless a court order gives healthcare workers the right to administer medications without the client's consent. (If clients are endangering themselves or others, medications may be given against their will.) Clients also have the right to request the generic form of prescribed medications, if available. Generic forms of medications are often less expensive than their brand name counterparts.
