PLEASE HURRY When ensuring your client is given the right dosage of a prescribed medication, the first thing you should do is
O A. check the client's wristband
OB. confirm the correct medication with the client's family
C. call the doctor and confirm the correct dosage is being delivered
O D. compare the medication label with the dosage ordered

A. check the client's wristband

Explanation:

The first step in administering medication is to check the client’s wristband. The wristband of a client in a healthcare service contains essential details like the client’s name, previous medical conditions, drug or any other allergies, medications which are currently administered with their dosage as prescribed.

Further these details should be cross-checked with the client also to make no mistakes while administering medications.  

While administering medications, the seven rights – right medication, right patient, right dosage, right route, right time, right reason, and right documentation must be followed in healthcare services.

The client's family may not be fully aware of the client's medication details, hence they cannot provide complete information. calling the doctor each time while administering the drug may not be feasible all the times.

Only after verifying the dosage in the client's wristband, the medication label should be compared with the dosage ordered in order to avoid any errors.
