1. The following medication order is in the patient’s medication administration record
H H H H H H H H H H
(MAR): H
methylPREDnisolone 40 mg PO daily at 0900. H H H H H H
After reading the order, the nurse correctly determines:

Feedback
The medication order has all the required components (drug name, dose,
H H H H H H H H H H
route, and frequency of administration) for a drug order. ―PO‖ is an
H H H H H H H H H H H H
appropriate abbreviation; 40 mg is written correctly with a space between
H H H H H H H H H H H
the dose and the unit of measurement. Tall man lettering is used to
H H H H H H H H H H H H H
distinguish the drug from another drug
H H H H H H
with a similar name. H H
2. Which H of the following accurately describes the ―Boxed Warning‖ found on a drug

H H H H H H H H H H H H
identifyingthe patient’s drug dosage.
H H H H
The warning is found on specific prescription medications and does not provide
