Explanation

A. Comparing the medication administration record and the medication label when removing the medication ensures that the correct medication is being obtained.

C. While controlled substance counts are important for security and inventory, they do not involve direct medication administration verification for an individual client.

D. Comparing the medication administration record and the medication label when preparing the medication dosage ensures that the correct medication and dose are being administered.
