3) What is missing, what should be done? - ANS Think about the "Nine Rights"! Assuming the
prescription has her name on it (right patient), and the licensed prescriber's signature (right
documentation), the prescription has the drug name (right drug), 325 mg (right dose), PO (right
route), and right reason (for anemia), but something is missing! The right TIME. How often does
this medication need to be taken? Should it be taken with meals or on an empty stomach? The
pharmacist will need to contact the licensed prescriber to clarify the prescription. The frequency
of the medication will certainly affect the dosage she ultimately receives each day.

How should the nurse Handle this? - ANS Dollie has the right to refuse to take the medication.
However, the nurse needs to identify Dollie's reasons for refusing the medication. If the "cause"
of refusal is known, then the nursing care plan may be revised and further actions implemented,
such as education about the purpose of the drug and how to manage side effects, as well as
other concerns raised by the patient. In addition, the licensed prescriber should be notified of
Dollie's concerns, and the data should be documented, including information about the nurse's
response to Dollie's concerns.
