If the scanned medication does not match a medication on the patient's account, the following alert will be generated: "The scanned medication item XXXXXXXXXX is not ordered for this patient XXXXXX." Select OK to return to the previous screen. Medication Verification may not be used to administer this medication. Please review the patient's MAR before attempting to administer the medication. If the system prohibits the administration of a medication via Medication Verification and it is determined that the medication should indeed be administered, the medication may be administered via the MAR until the issue is resolved.
