The nurse is conducting an admission assessment on a patient. When collecting data relating to the medications, the nurse asks ├óÔé¼┼ôWhat medications are you taking?├óÔé¼┬Ø After collecting that information, what other queries should the nurse ask? Select all that apply.
Correct answer
D,E
Rationale
The correct answers are D and E. Asking about herbs, vitamins, and supplements (D) is crucial as these can interact with prescribed medications. Inquiring about over-the-counter (OTC) medications (E) is important as they can also have interactions. Choices A, B, and C are vague and redundant, as they do not provide specific information about medications. Asking about medication safety (C) is assumed in the context of a healthcare setting. Choice F and G are not provided in the question.
