Question: 1 / 400

A nurse is preparing to administer several medications for a client. Which of the following is not the nurse's responsibility to understand regarding medication administration?

Cost of the medication

As a nurse, understanding the cost of the medication is not a direct responsibility in the process of medication administration. The primary concern is ensuring patient safety and efficacy of the medication being administered. Nurses should have a comprehensive understanding of the name of the medication, the reason for its prescription, and the correct route of administration to guarantee the medication is given correctly to the right patient, in the right dose, through the right route, and at the right time. Monitoring for potential side effects or adverse reactions is crucial, but the cost of the medication is typically managed by other healthcare professionals or the healthcare facility's administrative staff.
