• The Medication Administration Record (MAR) is a legal document. Documentation must be accurate.
• The document immediately after giving or monitoring medications, not before.
• Document each administration or monitoring at the time
• Only document medications that you administer or monitor.
• Initial medications are given or monitored in the box for the corresponding date and time.
• Always use black ink, never use a pencil
• Never use white-out or attempt to erase an error
• Not documented, not administered/monitored
• No blanks on the MAR
