MULTIPLE CHOICE f




1. The following medication order is in the patient’s medication administration record (MAR):
f f f f f f f f f f f




methylPREDnisolone 40 mg PO daily at 0900. f f f f f f




After reading the order, the nurse correctly determines:
f f f f f f f


A ―PO‖ is an inappropriate abbreviation. f f f f


B the medication order is written correctly. f f f f f


C 40 mg should be written as 40mg. f f f f f f


D tall man lettering indicates that the drug is a narcotic.
f f f f f f f f f




ANS: B f


Feedback
The medication order has all the required components (drug name, dose, route, and
f f f f f f f f f f f f


frequency of administration) for a drug order. ―PO‖ is an appropriate abbreviation;
f f f f f f f f f f f f


40 mg is written correctly with a space between the dose and the unit of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


measurement. Tall man lettering is used to distinguish the drug from another drug
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


with a similar name. f f f




2. Which of the following accurately describes the ―Boxed Warning‖ found on a drug label?
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


A It is primarily is used to identify the safe dose for the patient.
f f f f f f f f f f f f


B It is commonly found on all drug labels. f f f f f f f


C It identifies serious potential risks and side effects related to drug use.
f f f f f f f f f f f


D It protects the patient by providing information to decrease side effects.
f f f f f f f f f f




ANS: C f


Feedback
A drug label with a boxed warning provides information to healthcare professionals
f f f f f f f f f f f


and patients regarding the serious risks and side effects related to the drug. The
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


Boxed Warning is not the primary source for identifying the patient’s drug dosage.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


The warning is found on specific prescription medications and does not provide
f f f f f f f f f f f


information to reduce or decrease side effects.
f f f f f f f




3. When practicing safety in the administration of medication, for which of the following
f f f f f f f f f f f f


medication orders should a nurse seek clarification before the administration of the
f f f f f f f f f f f f


medication?
f

A Regular insulin 5 u subcut now. f f f f f


B Enoxaparin 80 mg subcut every 12 hours. f f f f f f


C Benadryl 50 mg PO PRN every 6 hr for itching. f f f f f f f f f


D Ondansetron 4 mg IVP stat. f f f f




ANS: A f


Feedback
The ―u‖ should never be used in a medication order; rather, for safety, the word ―units‖
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


should be spelled out. The other answer options contain the required
f f f f f f f f f f f


components needed to safely carry out the medication order. f f f f f f f f




4. A nurse is reviewing a drug label with a drug name written with tall man lettering. Which
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


statements shows the nurse has a correct understanding of tall man lettering on a drug label?
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


A ―The tall man lettering means this is a high alert drug.‖ f f f f f f f f f f


B ―The tall man lettering helps me distinguish this drug with other drugs that
f f f f f f f f f f f f


have similar names.‖ f f


C ―The tall man lettering means that this drug must have a Boxed Warning.‖
f f f f f f f f f f f f


D ―The tall man lettering helps me quickly identify that this drug is an injectable
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


drug.‖

ANS: B f


Feedback
Tall man lettering highlights a portion of the drug name to help distinguish from similar
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


drug names. It is not used to identify high alert drugs, highlight a boxed
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


warning, or identify injectable drugs. f f f f




5. The following medication orders are found in the patient’s MAR:
f f f f f f f f f




Metformin HCl 500 mg PO daily at 0900. Hydrochlorothiazide f f f f f f f f


25 mg PO every 12 hr at 0900 and 2100. Digoxin .25 mg PO
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


daily at 0900.
f f f




In reading the medication orders for the 0700–1500 shift, the nurse determines that which of the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


following is the priority nursing intervention?
f f f f f f


A Clarify the metformin HCl order. f f f f


B Clarify the hydrochlorothiazide order. f f f


C Clarify the digoxin order. f f f


D Prepare to administer the 0900 medications. f f f f f
