a. A “right time” problem xv xv xv




b. A “right dose” problem xv xv xv




c. A “right route” problem xv xv xv




d. A “right medication” problem xv xv xv




ANS: C xv




This is a “right route” problem: the nurse cannot assume the route and must clarify the route with the prescriber. This is not a “right time”

a. Planning

Monitoring the patient’s progress is part of the evaluation phase. Planning, implementation, and nursing diagnosis are not illustrated by

d. Withhold the drug until the health care provider visits the patient xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv




ANS: C xv




If a medication order does not include the route, the nurse must ask the health care provider to clarify it. Never assume the route of administration.

8. What correctly describes the nursing process?
xv xv xv xv xv




a. Diagnosing, planning, assessing, implementing, and finally evaluating xv xv xv xv xv xv

9. When the nurse is considering the timing of a drug dose, which is most important to assess?

a. The patient’s identification xv xv




b. The patient’s weight xv xv




c. The patient’s last meal xv xv xv




d. Any drug or food allergies xv xv xv xv




ANS: C xv




The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the drug need to be assessed with regard to any drug–
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv




food interactions or compatibility issues. The patient’s identification, weight, and drug or food allergies are not affected by the drug’s timing.

10. The nurse is writing nursing diagnoses for a plan of care. Which reflects the correct format for her nursing diagnosis?
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv




a. Anxiety
b. Anxiety related to new drug therapy xv xv xv xv xv




c. Anxietyrelated to anxious feelings about drug therapy, as evidenced by sta v

ANS: D xv




Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three- xv xv xv xv xv xv xv




step process. The only complete answer is “Anxiety related to new drug therapy, as evidenced by statements such as ‘I’m upset about h
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv

1. A patient is receiving two different drugs, which, at their current dose forms and dosages, are both absorbed into the circulation in identi

Two drugs absorbed into the circulation at the same amount (in specific dosage forms) have the same bioavailability; thus, they are bioe

“Synergistic” is incorrect because this term refers to two drugs given together whose resulting effect is greater than the sum of the effe
