therapy to prevent nausea.‖ The nurse notes that the route is missing from the order. What is

the nurse‘s best action?
fd fd fd



a. Give the medication intravenously because the patient might vomit.
fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd



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

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




ANS: C fd



A complete medication order includes the route of administration. If a medication order does not
fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd



include the route, the nurse must ask the prescriber to clarify it. The intravenous and oral routes
fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd f



are not interchangeable. Holding the medication until the prescriber returns would mean that th
d fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd



e patient would not receive a needed medication.
