Question 9

In medication administration, the standard practice is to compare the medication label to the medication administration record three times: when taking the medication from storage, when preparing it, and before administering it. This is to ensure accuracy and patient safety.

Transdermal patches are designed to deliver medication through the skin. The patch has a reservoir of medication that is absorbed through the skin's layers into the bloodstream over time. Stomach is for oral medications, blood is the medium the drug enters after skin absorption, and mucous membranes are for other routes like sublingual or nasal, not transdermal.

Answer:

C. Three times
