Colorado Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

Which responsibility includes ensuring labels on prescriptions are correct?

1. Inventory control

2. Proper dispensing of individual resident prescriptions

3. Regular training for staff

4. Quarterly reports to the advisory committee

The correct answer is: Proper dispensing of individual resident prescriptions

The responsibility of proper dispensing of individual resident prescriptions involves making sure the labels on prescriptions are correct. This is an important task to ensure that residents receive the correct medication and dosage as prescribed by their doctors. A is incorrect because inventory control is related to keeping track of the medications in stock, not labeling them. C is incorrect because while regular training for staff is important, it is not specifically related to checking the accuracy of prescription labels. D is incorrect because quarterly reports to the advisory committee focuses on overall reporting and analysis, rather than ensuring the accuracy of prescription labels.
