Which of the following actions does NOT constitute a medication error?

Administering a medication that is clearly labeled does not constitute a medication error because clear labeling indicates that the medication has been correctly identified. When medications are properly labeled, they provide essential information regarding dosage, administration route, and storage, ensuring that the technician can confirm they are giving the correct medication to the right patient. This clarity helps minimize the risk of mistakes associated with the medication, as opposed to situations where medications may be unmarked or poorly labeled, increasing the chances of error.

In contrast, actions such as administering medications without checking the Medication Administration Record (MAR), transcribing information incorrectly, and failing to perform the six rights of medication administration involve lapses in the proper protocols and procedures. These actions carry a higher potential for mistakes that could affect patient safety and medication effectiveness. Therefore, option C stands out as the only action that does not involve a risk of error when proper labeling is adhered to.
