client. Assessing or collecting additional data will provide the nurse with knowledge to make
an appropriate decision. When performing medication reconciliation, it is important that the

medications against any new medications the client will take. The list should include
prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and herbal and nutritional supplements.
