The Registered Nurse has given you a task to administer Emma's medication on the afternoon shift.

You check your watch and see that the time is now 4:25 pm. Provide a detailed answer on what you should do after you check your watch and why? What is considered to be the right time for administering oral medication in reference to the drug chart?
