a nurse is performing a medication reconciliation while admitting an older adult client transferred from a long - term care facility. which of the following should the nurse identify as part of the medication reconciliation process?
medications from another facility
recommendation for prescribed medications
medications for another pharmacy
discontinuation of medications

Explanation:

Medication reconciliation involves reviewing a client's medications, including those to be continued, added, or discontinued. It focuses on the client's own medication regimen, not medications from other facilities or pharmacies. A recommendation for prescribed medications is more of a prescriber's role. Discontinuation of medications is a key part of ensuring accurate and safe medication use during the admission process.

Answer:

Discontinuation of medications
