How is Double Check Conducted?

The double-check process usually involves two nurses independently verifying the following:
1. Patient Identification: Confirming the patient's identity using two identifiers (e.g., name and date of birth).
2. Medication Details: Checking the medication name, dosage, route, and time against the physician's order.
3. Allergies and Interactions: Reviewing the patient's medical history for any potential allergies or drug interactions.
4. Documentation: Ensuring proper documentation of the medication administration.
