Explanation : The medication reconciliation process to ensure that the nurse is aware of all medications that the client is taking, some of which may have been ordered by a physician other than the client’s primary care doctor and some of which are over the counter or alternative therapies that the client has added. The complete and current list of medications is then reviewed by the nurse, and possible interactions are identified and addressed with the client.
