Technician in Surgery TS-C Practice Test

Answer: C - Medication should be checked three different times before administration: when the drug is brought out for use, when the drug is drawn up, and when the drug is administered. Surgical techs have several opportunities to routinely check medications as part of the administration process. Because drug errors can be detrimental to the patient’s health and safety, the tech should routinely check drugs before giving them to the patient.
