When preparing to administer a new medication, what would the nurse do first to ensure the
patient's safety?
A. Perform hand hygiene.
B. Compare the written order with the medication administration record (MAR).
C. Inform the patient about the medication.
D. Review appropriate nursing considerations.
Perform hand hygiene.
Rationale: The first step in preparing to administer a new medication would be to perform
hand hygiene. Although it is appropriate to compare the written order with the medication
administration record (MAR), to inform the patient about the medication, and to review
applicable nursing considerations, doing so would not be the nurse's first step in preparing
to administer a new medication.
