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




frequency of administration) for a drug order. “PO” is an appropriate abbreviation;40

m m m m m m m m m m

m m m m m m m m m m m




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




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

information to reduce or decrease side effects.

The “u” should never be used in a medication order; rather, for safety, the word

“units” should be spelled out. The other answer options contain the required

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

m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




warning, or identify injectable drugs. m m m m
