taking and comparing that list to new medications the provider has prescribed. This action
decreases the risk of medication interactions and adverse outcomes.
C. The nurse who performs medication reconciliation is demonstrating the ethical principal of veracity.
Rationale: This action by the nurse does not demonstrate the ethical principal veracity, which means
telling the truth. The nurse who performs medication reconciliation is demonstrating the
ethical principle beneficence, which means the nurse takes action to promote good, and
nonmaleficence, which means the nurse takes action to prevent harm.
D. The International Council of Nurses Code of Ethics stipulates that the nurse performs medication
reconciliation when a client is admitted to a facility, is transferred to another facility, and when a client is

Rationale: The International Council of Nurses Code of Ethics stipulates that nurses have a
responsibility to promote health and prevent illness, but it does not mandate
medication reconciliation. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement recommends the nurse
perform medication reconciliation when a client is transferred, and The Joint Commission
requires medication reconciliation when a client is admitted and when a client is discharged.
