What is the nurse‘s best action? Give the medication intravenously because the patient might vomit. Give the medication orally because the tablets are available in 4-mg doses. Contact the prescriber to clarify the route of the medication ordered. Hold the medication until the prescriber returns to make rounds. ANS: C A complete medication order includes the route of administration. If a medication order does not include the route, the nurse must ask the prescriber to clarify it.
