An MA is transcribing a prescription for magnesium sulfate into a pt's medical record. Which of the following should the assistant use to document this medication?

  1. Vitamin C

  2. Saline solution

  3. Potassium chloride

  4. Magnesium sulfate

The correct answer is: Magnesium sulfate

The correct answer is D. Magnesium sulfate should be used to document the medication since that is the actual medication being prescribed. It is important for medical assistants to accurately transcribe prescriptions into patient records to ensure patient safety and proper treatment. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they are not the medication being prescribed in the scenario. It is essential for medical assistants to pay close attention to detail and accurately document medications to prevent errors in patient care.
