MULTIPLECHOICE v




1. Thefollowingmedication order is in thepatient’s medication administration record (MAR):
v v v v v v v v v v v




methylPREDnisolone40 mg PO daily at 0900. v v v v v v




Afterreadingthe order, the nurse correctlydetermines:
v v v v v v v




A “PO”is an inappropriate abbreviation. v v v v




B themedication order iswritten correctly. v v v v v




C 40 mgshould bewritten as 40mg. v v v v v v




D tall man letteringindicates that the drugis a narcotic. v v v v v v v v v




ANS: B v




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




frequency of administration) for a drug order. “PO” is an appropriate abbreviation; 40
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




mg is written correctly with a space between the dose and the unit of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




measurement. Tall man lettering is used to distinguish the drug from another drug with a v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




similar name.
v v




2. Which ofthe followingaccuratelydescribes the “Boxed Warning” found on a druglabel?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




A It is primarilyis used to identifythe safe dose for the patient.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




B It is commonlyfound on all druglabels. v v v v v v v




C It identifies serious potential risks and sideeffects related to druguse.
v v v v v v v v v v v




D It protects thepatient byprovidinginformation to decreaseside effects.
v v v v v v v v v v




ANS: C v




Feedback
A druglabel with aboxed warningprovides information to healthcareprofessionals and
v v v v v v v v v v v v




patients regarding the serious risks and side effects related to the drug. The Boxed
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




Warning is not the primarysource for identifying the patient’s drug dosage.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




Thewarningis foundon specificprescription medicationsand does not provide information
v v v v v v v v v v v v




to reduce or decrease side effects.
v v v v v v




3. When practicingsafetyin the administration ofmedication, for which of thefollowing
v v v v v v v v v v v v




medication orders should a nurse seek clarification before the administration of the
v v v v v v v v v v v v




medication?
v

, A Regularinsulin 5 u subcut now. v v v v v




B Enoxaparin 80 mgsubcut every12 hours. v v v v v v




C Benadryl 50 mgPO PRN every6 hr foritching. v v v v v v v v v




D Ondansetron4 mg IVP stat. v v v v




ANS: A v




Feedback
The“u”should never be used in amedication order; rather, for safety, the word
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




“units”should bespelled out. Theotheransweroptions contain therequired components
v v v v v v v v v v v v




needed to safely carry out the medication order.
v v v v v v v v




4. A nurse is reviewing a drug label with a drug name written with tall man lettering. Which
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




statements shows the nursehas acorrect understandingof tall man letteringon adruglabel?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




A “Thetall man letteringmeans this is a high alert drug.” v v v v v v v v v v




B “Thetall man letteringhelps me distinguish this drugwith otherdrugs that v v v v v v v v v v v v




havesimilar names.” v v




C “Thetall man lettering means that this drugmust have a Boxed Warning.” v v v v v v v v v v v v




D “Thetall man letteringhelps me quicklyidentifythat this drugis an injectable drug.”
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




ANS: B v




Feedback
Tall man letteringhighlights a portion ofthe drug name to help distinguish from
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




similardrugnames. It is not used to identifyhigh alert drugs, highlight aboxed warning, or
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




identify injectable drugs.
v v v
