xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz




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




After reading the order, the nurse correctly determines:

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

narcotic. xz




ANS: B xz




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



frequency of administration) for a drug order. ―PO‖ is an appropriate
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



abbreviation; 40 mg is written correctly with a space between the dose and the
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



unit of measurement. Tall man lettering is used to distinguish the drug from
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



another drug
xz xz



with a similar name. xz xz xz

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

xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



the drug. The Boxed Warning is not the primary source for identifying the
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



patient’s drug dosage.
xz xz xz



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



information to reduce or decrease side effects.
