During the report, the nurse handing off care notes that the client had a fever earlier in the shift and was treated with prescribed medication. What key information should the receiving nurse clarify before completing the hand-off process?
The dosage of the medication that was given during the shift
The client has a history of medication-related allergies
Updates on the client’s current condition and whether symptoms persist
The correct answer is to confirm updates on the client’s current condition and whether symptoms persist, as this provides insight into the client’s response to treatment and helps the receiving nurse prioritize care. Details like the time the medication was administered or its dosage are not as critical after the medication has already been administered. Information regarding a history of medication-related allergies might be useful in a different context but is not the most important point to clarify during this hand-off.
