To view the last time a patient received any pain medications over the last 24 hours without scrolling through multiple MAR shifts, which MAR feature should you use?

• A. Click the Due/Overdue Meds tab in the MAR activity.
• B. Look for medication documentation in Flowsheets.
• C. The MAR Overview page.
• D. Use the MAR Report to see medication information for multiple days.

Answer: (D)

To quickly see when a patient last received any pain medications over the past 24 hours across multiple days, use the MAR Report. This report pulls medication administration events over a chosen date range, so you can view all administrations in one place rather than scrolling through separate MAR shifts. You can filter for the patient and, if needed, for pain medications, and you’ll see the exact times of each administration in chronological order, making it easy to determine the last dose within the 24-hour window.

The other options don’t provide that multi-day, consolidated view. The Due/Overdue Meds tab shows what’s scheduled or overdue but not a history of what was actually given. Flowsheets can contain medication entries but require navigation and aren’t as streamlined for reviewing a multi-day history. The MAR Overview page gives a single-day snapshot rather than a multi-day view.
