This study guide provides extensive review of medication orders (routine, single-dose, PRN, NOW, and STAT), medication administration standards, the rights of medication administration, medication reconciliation, medication diversion, controlled substances, narcotic handling, dosage calculations, oral, buccal, sublingual, topical, transdermal, ophthalmic, otic, intranasal, vaginal, rectal, enteral tube, inhalation, intradermal (ID), subcutaneous (SC), intramuscular (IM), and intravenous (IV) medication administration, medication documentation, infusion therapy, medication safety for pediatric and older adult patients, medication errors, medication dose-response relationships, therapeutic drug monitoring, peak and trough levels, patient education, and evidence-based nursing interventions.
