,Created By: A Solution
ANS: A
“Right time” is correct because the medication was given more than 30 minutes after the
scheduled dose was due. “Dose” is incorrect because the dose is not related to the time the
medication administration is scheduled. “Route” is incorrect because the route is not affected.
“Medication” is incorrect because the medication ordered will not change.

3. The nurse has been monitoring the patient’s progress on a new drug regimen since the
first dose and documenting the patient’s therapeutic response to the medication. Which phase of
the nursing process do these actions illustrate? a. Human needs statement
b. Planning
c. Implementation
d. Evaluation
ANS: D
Monitoring the patient’s progress, including the patient’s response to the medication, is part of
the evaluation phase. Planning, implementation, and human needs statement are not illustrated
by this example.

b. The patient will not experience complications.
c. The patient will adhere to the new insulin treatment regimen.
d. The patient will demonstrate correct blood glucose testing technique.

“Demonstrating correct blood glucose testing technique” is a specific and measurable outcome
criterion. “Following instructions” and “not experiencing complications” are not specific criteria.
“Adhering to new regimen” would be difficult to measure.

5. Which activity best reflects the implementation phase of the nursing process for the
patient who is newly diagnosed with hypertension?

b. Setting goals and outcome criteria with the patient’s input
c. Recording a drug history regarding over-the-counter medications used at home
d. Formulating human needs statements regarding deficient knowledge related to the new
treatment regimen
ANS: A
Education is an intervention that occurs during the implementation phase. Setting goals and
outcomes reflects the planning phase. Recording a drug history reflects the assessment phase.
Formulating human needs statements reflects analysis of data as part of planning.

6. The medication order reads, “Give ondansetron 4 mg, 30 minutes before beginning
chemotherapy to prevent nausea.” The nurse notes that the route is missing from the order.
What is the nurse’s best action?
a. Give the medication intravenously because the patient might vomit.
b. Give the medication orally because the tablets are available in 4-mg doses.
c. Contact the prescriber to clarify the route of the medication ordered.
d. Hold the medication until the prescriber returns to make rounds.
ANS: C
A complete medication order includes the route of administration. If a medication order does not
include the route, the nurse must ask the prescriber to clarify it. The intravenous and oral routes
are not interchangeable. Holding the medication until the prescriber returns would mean that the
patient would not receive a needed medication.

7. When the nurse considers the timing of a drug dose, which factor is appropriate to
consider when deciding when to give a drug? a. The patient’s ability to swallow
b. The patient’s height
c. The patient’s last meal
d. The patient’s allergies
ANS: C
The nurse must consider specific pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic drug properties that may be
affected by the timing of the last meal. The patient’s ability to swallow, height, and allergies are
not factors to consider regarding the timing of the drug’s administration.
