Which step is NOT part of the patient supplied medication workflow?

The correct choice reflects a step that is outside the typical workflow for patient-supplied medications. In a patient-supplied medication workflow, steps generally involve the verification and management of those medications by pharmacy and nursing staff to ensure safety and compliance with medical orders.

When a nurse prepares medications for surgery, this step usually pertains to medications that are already provided by the institution or pharmacy rather than those supplied by the patient. Patient-supplied medications must go through a verification process to ensure they are appropriate for use, which involves the pharmacist reviewing the order and verifying the supplied medication against medical needs. Since preparing for surgery typically involves institutional protocols and medications meant for surgery, this step does not apply to the specific workflow concerning medications supplied by patients.

Other steps, such as modifying the medication order and sending medical orders to the pharmacy, are integral components of ensuring that patient-supplied medications are correctly managed and administered in a clinical setting.
