Which tab in the Medication Administration window allows you to document against an already ordered fluid before surgery?

The Active tab in the Medication Administration window is specifically designed for documenting medications that are currently in use or have been ordered but not yet completed. This includes infusions or fluids that have been prescribed for a patient prior to surgery. When documentation is necessary for these types of medications, the Active tab will display them, allowing healthcare providers to easily track and record the administration of fluid prior to surgical procedures.

The other tabs do not serve this purpose effectively. The Scheduled tab is typically used for medications that are ordered for future administration but have not yet been started, while the Completed tab is reserved for medications that have already been administered and are no longer active. The Cancelled tab is for medications that were ordered but later cancelled and thus would not be relevant for documenting any administration.
