Section A: ORDER MANAGEMENT
Question 1
You need to change an order for a medication from IV to PO. The form and
strength are part of the product (ERX) ordered. What is the correct
procedure?
A) Click Modify in the Orders activity and change the route to PO
B) Discontinue the IV order and enter a new order for the PO form
C) Reverify the order and change the dispense information
D) Adjust the scheduled times in the MAR
Answer: B) Discontinue the IV order and enter a new order for the PO
form**
Rationale: To change a medication from IV to PO, you must discontinue the
order for the IV form and enter a new order for the PO form. Because form
,and strength are part of the product (ERX) ordered, you must order a
different product. You should also check the previous order's last
administration and end date/time and adjust the new order accordingly.
Question 2
A nurse sends a message from the MAR indicating that the patient's home
supply of a medication has run out. The pharmacist decides to start
dispensing this order. What steps should the pharmacist take?
A) Click Modify in the Orders activity and change the dispense location
B) Discontinue the order and enter a new order with pharmacy dispensing
C) Go to Medications, select the order, click Order Hx, reverify, clear
"Patient supplied" check box, and click Verify
D) Adjust the scheduled times in the MAR
.
Answer: C) Go to Medications, select the order, click Order Hx, reverify,
clear "Patient supplied" check box, and click Verify**
Rationale: The pharmacist should reverify this order. In the patient chart,
go to Medications and select the order, then click Order Hx. Once they have
the order back in Verify Orders, they change how the order is being
dispensed by clicking Dispense Details and clearing the Patient supplied
check box. Then click Verify
,Question 3
True or False: The only way to adjust the ongoing schedule for an order is
to discontinue it and enter a new order.
A) True
B) False
Answer: B) False
**Rationale:** A pharmacist can reschedule an active order from the
Medications activity (or from a medication message in the In Basket) using
the Adjust Times button. This just edits the existing order; it doesn't create
a new order. Nurses can also adjust individual due times on the MAR.
Question 4
If you attempt to reverify an order and find that everything is read-only,
what is the most likely reason?
A) The order has been discontinued
B) The order has already been verified
, C) You never closed the patient chart after initially verifying the order
D) The order is in a verification queue
**Answer: C) You never closed the patient chart after initially verifying the
order**
Rationale: If you attempt to reverify an order and find that everything is
read-only, it is probably because you never closed the chart after initially
verifying the order. Closing and reopening the chart allows you to make
changes using Reverify Order.

A) Modify the order in Orders activity
B) Discontinue the original order and place a new order
