The patient will follow instructions.
b. The patient will not experience complications.
c. The patient adheres to the new insulin treatment regimen.

b. Consult with the pharmacist for clarification about the most common route
c. Call the health care provider to clarify the route of administration

Right route, Right dose, Right time, and Right patient. Right effect, right strength, and right
diagnosis are not part of the traditional Five Rights.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p. 13
8. When the nurse is considering the timing of a drug dose, which is most important to assess?
a. The patient‘s identification
b. The patient‘s weight
c. The patient‘s last meal
d. Any drug or food allergies
ANS: C
The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the drug need to be assessed with
regard to any drug–food interactions or compatibility issues. The patient‘s identification,
weight, and drug or food allergies are not affected by the drug‘s timing.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 17
9. The nurse is writing nursing diagnoses for a plan of care. Which reflects the correct format
for her nursing diagnosis? a. Anxiety
b. Anxiety related to new drug therapy

d. Anxiety related to new drug therapy, as evidenced by statements such as ―I‘m upset

Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three-step process. The only complete answer is
―Anxiety related to new drug therapy, as evidenced by statements such as ‗I‘m upset about
having to give myself shots.‘‖ The answer ―Anxiety‖ is missing the ―related to‖ and ―as
evidenced by‖ portions. The answer ―Anxiety related to new drug therapy‖ is missing the
―as evidenced by‖ portion of defining characteristics. The ―related to‖ section in ―Anxiety
related to anxious feelings about drug therapy, as evidenced by statements such as ‗I‘m upset
about having to give myself shots‘‖ is simply a restatement of the problem ―anxiety,‖ not a
separate factor related to the response.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis REF: p. 9
10. What correctly describes the nursing process?
a. Diagnosing, planning, assessing, implementing, and finally evaluating
b. Assessing, then diagnosing, implementing, and ending with evaluating
c. A linear direction that begins with assessing and continues through diagnosing, planning,
