2. Which part of the nursing process includes setting goals for the nursing care required when
giving drugs to a patient?
a. Assessment
b. Planning
c. Evaluation
d. Diagnosis

3. When would it be appropriate to withhold a drug instead of giving it to a patient?
a. When the order is written by hand
b. When any part of the drug order is unclear
c. When the drug improves the patient’s symptoms
d. When the order contains both the generic and trade name of the drug
ANS: B
You must use good judgment in carrying out a drug order. If, in your judgment, the order is

the patient‟s healthcare provider.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Applying REF: p. 4

c. Right drug, amount, route, time, nurse, reason, route, diagnosis, and documentation

There are nine “rights” of drug administration: you must identify the right patient, give the

documentation to record that the dose has been given, monitor the patient for
