Domain 1: Medication Administration Fundamentals (20 Questions)
Q1: A MAP Certified staff member is preparing to administer medication to a new
individual. Which of the following represents the correct order of verification using the
Five Rights?
A. Right dose, right individual, right time, right route, right medication
B. Right individual, right medication, right dose, right route, right time [CORRECT]
C. Right medication, right individual, right dose, right time, right route
D. Right route, right individual, right medication, right dose, right time
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Five Rights of medication administration must be verified in a systematic
order to ensure safety. First, confirm you have the right individual by checking
identification. Second, verify the right medication by comparing the pharmacy label to
the MAR. Third, check the right dose matches the order. Fourth, confirm the right route
is appropriate. Finally, verify the right time is within the acceptable window. Option A is
incorrect because dose should not be verified before confirming the correct individual
and medication. Option C is incorrect because medication should not be checked
before individual identification. Option D is incorrect because route is not the first
consideration.
,Q2: Which type of medication order allows administration only when specific symptoms
or conditions are present, as documented by observable criteria from the prescribing
health care provider?
A. Standing order
B. PRN (Pro re nata) order [CORRECT]
C. Stat order
D. Single order
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A PRN order (from Latin "pro re nata" meaning "as the thing is needed")
permits medication administration only when specific symptoms or conditions are
present. According to Massachusetts regulations, for non-self-administering individuals
prescribed PRN medication, the program must obtain from the prescribing HCP "a
statement of specific criteria, in the form of observable symptoms, for determining
when the medication is to be administered" . Standing orders are ongoing and
administered on a regular schedule. Stat orders require immediate administration once.
Single orders are one-time only and not based on symptoms.
Q3: During medication reconciliation, a MAP Certified staff member discovers that an
individual's pharmacy label shows "Lisinopril 10mg" but the HCP order states "Lisinopril
5mg." What is the appropriate first action?
A. Administer the 10mg dose since it is the same medication
B. Contact the pharmacy to verify which dose is correct
C. Hold the medication and contact the MAP Consultant immediately [CORRECT]
D. Administer half of the 10mg tablet to approximate the 5mg dose
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When there is a discrepancy between the pharmacy label and the HCP order,
the medication must be held and the MAP Consultant must be contacted immediately.
This is a medication occurrence (wrong dose) that requires professional consultation
before any action is taken . Option A violates the right dose principle. Option B bypasses
,the required chain of command. Option D is never acceptable as it alters the medication
without authorization and creates an additional medication occurrence.
Q4: Select all that apply: Which of the following are acceptable forms of identification to
verify the "right individual" before medication administration? (Select all that apply)
A. A photograph of the individual in the medication room
B. The individual stating their name verbally
C. An identification bracelet or card with the individual's name and photo [CORRECT]
D. Asking a roommate to confirm the individual's identity
E. Checking the individual's name against the MAR and pharmacy label while the
individual is present [CORRECT]
Correct Answer: C, E
Rationale: Acceptable identification methods include official identification bracelets or
cards with photo verification and direct comparison of the individual's identity against
the MAR and pharmacy label while the individual is present. Option A is insufficient
because photographs alone can be outdated. Option B is unreliable as individuals with
cognitive impairments may incorrectly identify themselves or others. Option D violates
privacy and is not a reliable verification method. The individual must be positively
identified through at least two reliable identifiers.
Q5: A MAP Certified staff member is reviewing a new HCP order. Which component is
NOT required to be documented on the medication and treatment form?
A. Type and dosage of medication
B. Reason for which the medication is prescribed
C. The MAP Certified staff member's signature [CORRECT]
D. When and how the medication is to be administered
Correct Answer: C
, Rationale: According to Massachusetts regulations, the medication and treatment form
must specify the type and dosage of medication, the reason for prescription, when and
how the medication is to be administered, instructions for self-medication if applicable,
any contraindications or possible allergic reactions, and special instructions . The MAP
Certified staff member's signature is not required on the original HCP order—it is
required on the MAR when administering the medication. The HCP order is completed
by the prescribing practitioner, not the MAP staff.
Q6: An individual's HCP order states "Discontinue Metformin." Where should this
documentation be recorded?
A. On a separate discontinuation form only
B. In the margin of the HCP order [CORRECT]
C. On the pharmacy label
D. No documentation is required as the pharmacy will update the label
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: According to MAP documentation standards, when a medication has been
discontinued, this should be documented in the margin of the HCP order . MAP Certified
staff cannot alter information on the pharmacy label (Option C is incorrect). While some
sites may use additional forms, the margin of the HCP order is the required location for
this documentation. Option D is incorrect because discontinuation must always be
documented immediately, not waiting for pharmacy updates.
Q7: What is the maximum supply of any single medication that a MAP registered
community program may store on-site for a non-self-medicating individual?
A. 60-day supply
B. 90-day supply
C. 30-day supply [CORRECT]
D. 14-day supply
Correct Answer: C
