Answer 1

PRN medications are typically found under the PRN Meds tab on the Medication Administration Record, as this tab is specifically for "as needed" medications.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the MAR (Medication Administration Record), a medication that can be given PRN (pro re nata or as needed) would typically be found under the PRN Meds tab. This tab is specifically designated for medications that are not scheduled at fixed times but are given based on the patient's condition or symptoms. Although it may seem intuitive to look for PRN medications under tabs like 'All Meds' or 'Any Meds,' these are more general categories that could include all types of medications, making it less efficient for healthcare providers to quickly identify PRN orders.
