The nurse is instructing a client about how to prevent medication errors after discharge from the ho

The nurse is instructing a client about how to prevent medication errors after discharge from the hospital. What is a priority recommendation the nurse should make?
1. Ask questions about drug safety. Health care providers should be partners in maintaining safe medication principles.
2. Remember that OTC and herbal supplements are not considered medications. They cannot cause any harm.
3. It is okay to use household measuring devices to measure medications. These devices yield the same measurements that are used by professionals.
4. Do not question the medications received from the pharmacist. The pharmacist is a professional and should not be questioned.
