Many drugs have names that sound or look alike. As a nurse administering two such similar medications, it is important that you do which of the following?
 
  1. Check the spelling and name of each medication.
  2. Check the physician's order only.
  3. Ask the Team Leader to check the order with you.
  4. Ask the patient which one of the medications they take.
