route, andfrequency of administration) for a drug order. ―PO‖ is an

appropriate abbreviation;40 mg is written correctly with a space between the
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


dose and the unit of measurement. Tall man lettering is used to distinguish
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6

b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6
