The medication order has all the required components (drug name, dose, route,
df df df df df df df df df df df



andfrequency of administration) for a drug order. ―PO‖ is an appropriate
df df df df df df df df df df df df



abbreviation;40 mg is written correctly with a space between the dose and the
