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




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




ANSWER: 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 measurement.
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




Tall man lettering is used to distinguish the drug from another drug

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

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




and 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 V




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

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

information to reduce or decrease side effects.

ANSWER: A V




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

“units” should be spelled out. The other answer options contain the required

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

V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




warning, or identify injectable drugs. V V V V
