Phamacology 101, Chapter 2- Administration of Drugs
1. Which of the following reflects a nurse's responsibility when a drug is prescribed for a
client? Select all that apply.
A) Administering the drug to the client
B) Monitoring for therapeutic response
C) Checking for drug–drug interactions
D) Reporting adverse reactions
E) Teaching the client information needed to administer drugs safely at home
Ans: A, B, D, E
Feedback:
When a drug is prescribed to a client, the nurse is responsible for the administration of
the drug, monitoring for therapeutic effects, reporting adverse drug reactions, and
teaching the client information needed to administer the drug safely at home. A
pharmacist checks for drug–drug interactions prior to dispensing a drug for
administration.

A) Right documentation
B) Right patient
C) Right route
D) Right drug
E) Right prescriber
Ans: A, B, C, D

The five + 1 rights of drug administration include the following: right patient, right
drug, right dose, right route, right time, and right documentation.
3. Prior to administering a prescribed drug, the nurse correctly identifies the client by
which method? Select all that apply.
A) Checking a client's name on his or her wristband

, Ans: A, C, E
Feedback:
Client identifiers can include visual and verbal methods. Visual methods include use of
a recent picture of the client or client wristband. Verbal methods include asking the
client for his or her name and another unique identifier, such as his or her birth date.
Never ask a client, “Are you Mr. Jones?” because some clients may respond by
answering “yes” even though that is not their name due to confusion or difficulty
hearing. Checking the client's chart would be inappropriate to use for identifying the
client.
4. When completing the check to ensure that the right drug is being administered to the
client, which of the following should the nurse compare? Select all that apply.
A) Medication
B) Container label
C) Medication record
D) MAR
E) Nursing notes
Ans: A, B, C, D
Feedback:
The nurse compares the medication, container label, and medication record and then the
MAR as the item is removed from the cart and before the actual administration of the
drug.
5. A nurse is reviewing the order for a medication. Which of the following must be
included? Select all that apply.
A) Client's name
B) Drug name
C) Dosage form
D) Route of administration
E) Frequency of administration
Ans: A, B, C, D, E
Feedback:
A primary health care provider's order must include the client's name, the drug name,
the dosage form and route, the dosage to be administered, and the frequency of
administration.
