xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt




ANS: B xt


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


frequency of administration) for a drug order. ―PO‖ is an appropriate abbreviation;
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt


40 mg is written correctly with a space between the dose and the unit of measurem
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt


ent. Tall man lettering is used to distinguish the drug from another drug
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt


with a similar name. xt xt xt

xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt


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




ANS: C xt


Feedback
A drug label with a boxed warning provides information to healthcare professionals
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt x


and patients regarding the serious risks and side effects related to the drug. The Bo
t xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt


xed Warning is not the primary source for identifying the patient’s drug dosage.
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt


The warning is found on specific prescription medications and does not provide infor

mation to reduce or decrease side effects.

ANS: A xt


Feedback
The ―u‖ should never be used in a medication order; rather, for safety, the word ―units
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt


‖ should be spelled out. The other answer options contain the required
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt


components needed to safely carry out the medication order. xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt

xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt


D ―The tall man lettering helps me quickly identify that this drug is an injectable
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt


drug.‖

ANS: B xt


Feedback
Tall man lettering highlights a portion of the drug name to help distinguish from simil

ar drug names. It is not used to identify high alert drugs, highlight a boxed
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt


warning, or identify injectable drugs. xt xt xt xt
