    The role and responsibilities of an RN especially with regards to medication administration, hold great significance as they coincide with legislations and codes. According to the discussed documents, Jo’s lack of competence was evident as demonstrated through her medication error, she had an inability to keep to her scope of practice and also to the medication management system created in the residential aged facility.

Neither did she demonstrate the important values…
