c. Contact the prescriber to clarify the route of the medication ordered.
J J J J J J J J J J
d. Hold the medication until the prescriber returns to make rounds.
J J J J J J J J J
ANS: C J
A complete medication order includes the route of administration. If a medication order does not
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
include the route, the nurse must ask the prescriber to clarify it. The intravenous and oral routes
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
are not interchangeable. Holding the medication until the prescriber returns would mean that
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
the patient would not receive a needed medication.
