NCLEX RN Practice Question
Medications classified as high-risk should be verified by two licensed healthcare providers before administration.
True
False
Medications classified as high-risk should be verified by two licensed healthcare providers before administration.
True
False
The correct answer is true. High-risk medications, such as anticoagulants, insulin, and chemotherapy agents, carry a significant risk of causing harm if administered incorrectly. Verifying these medications with another licensed healthcare provider helps minimize the chances of dosing errors, incorrect patient administration, or other critical mistakes. This practice not only ensures patient safety but is also a standard protocol in many healthcare facilities. Other answers, such as suggesting no secondary verification is necessary, are incorrect because they disregard the protocols designed to mitigate risks associated with these medications.
