chemotherapy to prevent nausea.‖ The aide notes that the route is missing from the order.
What is the aide‘s best action?

b. Give the medication orally because the tablets are available in 4-mg doses.

RIGHT ANS:->> C
A complete medication order includes the route of administration. If a medication order does
not include the route, the aide 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 clientele would not receive a needed medication.
