If a medication is scanned that is not on the patient's account but matches the ingredients of a medication on the patient's account, the following prompt is generated: "The scanned medication item XXXXXXXXXXX is not ordered for patient XXXXXX. Prescribed dosage XXXX does not match dosage for scanned NDC XXXXXXXXXXX XXXX." Select OK to return to the previous screen. This medication may not be administered via Medication Verification. Please review the patient's MAR before attempting to administer this 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.
