Medication Administration Test Bank (SCORE A GUARANTEED)
A nurse is teaching a patient about medications. Which statement from the patient indicates teaching is effective? a. "My parenteral medication must be taken with food." b. "I will rotate the sites in my left leg when I give my insulin." c. "Once I start feeling better, I will stop taking my antibiotic." d. "If I am 30 minutes late taking my medication, I should skip that dose." "I will rotate the sites in my left leg when I give my insulin." For daily insulin, rotate site within anatomical area. Rotating injections within the same body part (instrasite rotation) provides greater consistency in absorption of medication. Parenteral medication absorption is not affected by the timing of meals. Taking a medication 30 minutes late is within the 60-minute window of the time medications should be taken. A nurse is preparing to administer an injection to a patient. Which statement made by the patient is an indication for the nurse to use the Z-track method?
