After a medication error or drug interaction, how long should the resident be monitored?

  1. 24 hours

  2. 48 hours

  3. 72 hours

  4. 96 hours

The correct answer is: 72 hours

After a medication error or drug interaction, the resident should be monitored for 72 hours. This is because it takes time for the medication or its interactions to fully take effect on the body and for any potential adverse effects to manifest. 24 hours may not be enough time to detect any issues, and 48 hours may still be too short. 96 hours, on the other hand, may be too long and unnecessarily extend the monitoring period.
