Arizona Certified Caregiver Practice Exam

Which one of the following should be included in a report of a medication occurrence?

1. Diagnosis

2. Dose schedule

3. Medication involved

4. Patient's address

The correct answer is: Medication involved

A report of a medication occurrence should include the medication that was involved in the occurrence. The diagnosis (A) and dose schedule (B) may not be relevant or necessary information to include in the report. The patient's address (D) is also not necessary and may be a violation of privacy. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate and relevant choice to include in the report.
