AAMA CMA Practice Question

During a busy day at the clinic, you administered a medication to a patient. Later, you realized that the medication was administered at a higher dose than prescribed by the provider. What is the most appropriate next step to ensure patient safety and compliance with clinic protocols?

  • Document the error in the patient's medical record, but avoid telling the provider to prevent personal repercussions.

  • Advise the patient to monitor their own symptoms and report any unusual reactions if they occur.

  • Wait to see if the patient exhibits any adverse reactions before deciding to report the incident.

  • Assess the patient for adverse effects, inform the provider, and accurately complete an incident report form according to clinic policy.
