用藥安全是 NCLEX 的核心考點。在給藥前，確認「病人」的正確性是所有給藥步驟中的第一優先（Safety First）。根據病人安全目標，必須使用至少兩種識別符號（Identifiers），通常為姓名（Name）與出生日期（Date of Birth），以確保藥物給予正確的對象，避免發生致命的醫療錯誤。
Medication safety is a core NCLEX testing area. Prior to administration, confirming the correct 'client' is the highest priority among all medication steps (safety first). According to patient safety goals, at least two identifiers must be used, typically the patient's name and date of birth, to ensure the medication is given to the right person and to avoid potentially fatal medical errors.
美國醫療機構極度重視「Patient Identifiers」的核對一致性，通常要求掃描病人的條碼手圈（Barcode Medication Administration, BCMA），這已成為美國臨床給藥的標準流程。
