/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


/f who is newly diagnosed with hypertension?
/f /f /f /f /f

6. The medication order reads, ―Give ondansetron 4 mg, 30 minutes before
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


beginning chemotherapy to prevent nausea.‖ The nurse notes that the route is
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


missing from the order. What is the nurse‘s best action?
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


a. Give the medication intravenously because the patient might vomit.
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


b. Give the medication orally because the tablets are available in 4-mg doses.
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


c. Contact the prescriber to clarify the route of the medication ordered.
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


d. Hold the medication until the prescriber returns to make rounds.

ANS: / f C
A complete medication order includes the route of administration. If a medication order does
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


not include the route, the nurse must ask the prescriber to clarify it. The intravenous and oral
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


routes are not interchangeable. Holding the medication until the prescriber returns would
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


mean that the patient would not receive a needed medication.

/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


be affected by the timing of the last meal. The patient‘s ability to swallow, height, and
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


allergies are not factors to consider regarding the timing of the drug‘s administration.
