QMAP The Seven Rights 2

Question 1

A QMAP picks up a medication that looks different from what the resident usually receives. What should they do according to the "Right Medication" principle?

Accepted Answer

Stop and verify - compare to the MAR, check if the pharmacy changed manufacturers, and contact pharmacy if unsure

Answer

Any discrepancy in appearance warrants investigation even if the label appears correct.

Question 2

The prescribed dose is 10 mg but only 5 mg tablets are available. What should the QMAP do?

Accepted Answer

Give two 5 mg tablets to equal 10 mg

Answer

Two 5 mg tablets equal the prescribed 10 mg dose. This is standard dosage calculation.

Question 3

The route is listed as "SL" but the resident wants to swallow it with water. What should the QMAP do?

Accepted Answer

Explain it must be placed under the tongue as ordered since swallowing changes how it works

Answer

Sublingual medications must be absorbed under the tongue. Swallowing changes absorption and may render them ineffective.

Question 4

What does the "Right Time" principle mean in practice?

Accepted Answer

Administer within the facility-defined window, typically 30-60 minutes around the scheduled time

Answer

Most facilities define a 30-60 minute window around the scheduled time.

Accepted Answer

Immediately after each medication is administered
