MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The nurse is preparing to administer a schedule II injectable drug and is drawing up half of

b. Keep the remaining amount in the patient’s drawer to give at the next dose.
c. Record the amount unused in the patient’s medication record.
d. Dispose of the vial with the remaining drug into a locked collection box.
