Do override pulls create a row in the MAR?

Override pulls typically do create a row in the Medication Administration Record (MAR). This is significant because it ensures that all medication administrations, including those that deviate from standard protocol—such as overrides—are documented for accountability and tracking purposes. This documentation is crucial for maintaining an accurate medical record and ensuring patient safety, as it allows healthcare providers to see all medications administered to a patient, regardless of the circumstances under which they were given. By generating a row in the MAR, it maintains a comprehensive history of the patient's medication administration, which can be critical for clinical decisions and audits thereafter.
