ANSWER: B v




Feedback

v v v v v v v v v v v v




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




mg is written correctly with a space between the dose and the unit of measurement. Tall
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




man lettering is used to distinguish the drug from another drug

v v v v v v v v v v

v v v v v v v v v v v v




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

C Benadryl 50 mg PO PRN every6 hr for itching. v v v v v v v v v




D Ondansetron 4 mg IVP stat. v v v v




ANSWER: A v




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




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




components needed to safely carryout the medication order. v v v v v v v v

warning, or identifyinjectable drugs. v v v v
