The correct answer is the action that ensures a complete and accurate comparison of the client’s current medications with any new medications being prescribed. This step minimizes the risk of medication errors and identifies potential interactions. The other options are incorrect because they describe incomplete or unrelated aspects of the process, such as focusing narrowly on in-hospital medications or prioritizing based on prescriber type, which risks overlooking potential errors.
