MULTIPLE CHOICE n




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




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




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




A “PO” is an inappropriate abbreviation. n n n n




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




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




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




ANS: B n




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




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




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




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




a similar name.
n n n




2. Which of the following accurately describes the “Boxed Warning” found on a drug label?
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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




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




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




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




ANS: C n




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




medication?
n

, A Regular insulin 5 u subcut now. n n n n n




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




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




D Ondansetron 4 mg IVP stat. n n n n




ANS: A n




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




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




needed to safely carry out the medication order.
n n n n n n n n




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

A “The tall man lettering means this is a high alert drug.” n n n n n n n n n n




B “The tall man lettering helps me distinguish this drug with other drugs that n n n n n n n n n n n n




have similar names.” n n




C “The tall man lettering means that this drug must have a Boxed Warning.” n n n n n n n n n n n n




D “The tall man lettering helps me quickly identify that this drug is an injectable
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




drug.” n




ANS: B n




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




similar drug names. It is not used to identifyhigh alert drugs, highlight a boxed warning, or
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




identify injectable drugs.
n n n

n n n n n n n n n
