Question

Explanation:

Medication reconciliation aims to create an accurate list of all medications a patient is taking. This includes vitamins, supplements, and OTC meds. It's not done daily (usually at transitions like admission, transfer, discharge). All meds (not just newly prescribed) are reviewed. The goal is patient safety (not minimizing financial impact).

Answer:

Vitamins, supplements, and over - the - counter (OTC) medications should be included in a medication reconciliation.
