MULTIPLE CHOICE n




1. The following medication order is in the patient’s medication administration record (MAR):
n n n n n n n n n n n




methylPREDnisolone 40 mg PO daily at 0900. n n n n n n




After reading the order, the nurse correctly determines:
n n n n n n n


A ―PO‖ is an inappropriate abbreviation. n n n n


B the medication order is written correctly. n n n n n


C 40 mg should be written as 40mg. n n n n n n


D tall man lettering indicates that the drug is a narcotic.
n n n n n n n n n




ANS: B n


Feedback
The medication order has all the required components (drug name, dose, route,
n n n n n n n n n n n


andfrequency of administration) for a drug order. ―PO‖ is an appropriate
n n n n n n n n n n n n


abbreviation;40 mg is written correctly with a space between the dose and the unit
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n


of measurement. Tall man lettering is used to distinguish the drug from another
n n n n n n n n n n n n n


drug
n


with a similar name. n n n




2. Which of the following accurately describes the ―Boxed Warning‖ found on a drug label?

C It identifies serious potential risks and side effects related to drug use.
n n n n n n n n n n n


D It protects the patient by providing information to decrease side effects.
n n n n n n n n n n




ANS: C n


Feedback
A drug label with a boxed warning provides information to healthcare
n n n n n n n n n n


professionalsand patients regarding the serious risks and side effects related to the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n


drug. The Boxed Warning is not the primary source for identifying the patient’s

provideinformation to reduce or decrease side effects.
