Explanation:

Question 1

In medication administration documentation, the standard practice is to document each instance of assistance to ensure accuracy and compliance with protocols. Documenting every time you assist a person aligns with proper record - keeping for medication self - administration.

Medication documentation should be accurate and done by the person who provided the assistance to maintain accountability and avoid errors. So, you should decline to document for your coworker as it is not appropriate to document actions you did not perform.

Answer:

C. Document every time you assist a person
