MULTIPLE CHOICE zl




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




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




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




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



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



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



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




NS: B zl




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



uency of administration) for a drug order. “PO” is an appropriate abbreviation; 40 mg is
zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl



written correctly with a space between the dose and the unit of measurement. Tall ma
zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl



n lettering is used to distinguish the drug from another drug with a similar name.

2. Which of the following accurately describes the “Boxed Warning” found on a drug label?
zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl

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

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




NS: C zl




Feedback
A drug label with a boxed warning provides information to healthcare professionals and
zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl



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



rning is not the primary source for identifying the patient’s drug dosage. The warning i

s found on specific prescription medications and does not provide information to redu

ce or decrease side effects.

3. When practicing safety in the administration of medication, for which of the following m
zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl

D “The tall man lettering helps me quickly identify that this drug is an injectable dr

ug.”

ANS: B zl




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

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