What message does the ADS cabinet send when a nurse pulls medication?

When a nurse pulls medication from the Automated Dispensing System (ADS) cabinet, the system sends a “Dispensed message.” This message indicates that the medication has been successfully retrieved from the cabinet, documenting the transaction in the system for record-keeping and inventory management purposes.

The dispensed message is crucial in maintaining accurate medication inventory and ensuring that proper dosages are administered to patients. It confirms the action taken by the nurse and can be referenced later for audits or tracking individual medication use.

The other options pertain to different aspects of medication management but do not reflect the specific action of retrieving medication from the ADS. For example, acknowledgment of an order typically relates to confirming that an order has been received or processed, while a confirmation message might indicate that a previous action has been verified. Loading notifications are generally used to inform users that the cabinet is being loaded with new stock rather than communicating information about medication being dispensed.
