When receiving a verbal or telephone medication order in an acute care setting, which safety verification process is required?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Write down the complete order and read it back verbatim to confirm with the prescriber

Answer: Write down the complete order and read it back verbatim to confirm with the prescriber.
Why not the others: The 'write down, read back, and confirm' standard is mandatory to prevent transcription and acoustic errors; Executing orders before documenting creates severe medication error risks; Voice verification does not prevent clinical misunderstandings; Verifying only the drug name omits dose and route.
