NCLEX RN Practice Question

During a transfer from the emergency department to an inpatient unit, a nurse begins the medication reconciliation process. Which statement about this process is correct?

  • Over-the-counter medications and herbal supplements may be omitted once prescriptions have been reviewed for interactions.

  • The nurse should create and verify a list that includes every prescription, OTC drug, vitamin, and herbal supplement the client uses.

  • Medication reconciliation is performed only by the pharmacist, so the nurse's role is limited to documenting vital signs.

  • Medication reconciliation is optional when the client is being discharged directly home rather than transferred to another facility.
