Question:
The nurse records a handwritten telephone order for ketorolac 30 mg IM q6h
prn for pain. Which signature line would the nurse add in the order?
Answer:
VORB Dr. John James/Sue Smith, RN
This is the correct signature line that the nurse would include, as it has the
licensed prescriber's name, the notation that this is a verbal order (VORB,
verbal order read back), and the nurse's signature.

,Question:
The nurse has calculated a pediatric drug dose of 5.82 mL amoxicillin. Round
the answer to the nearest tenth, if applicable.__ mL
Answer:

Question:
The health care provider has prescribed 125 mg spironolactone. The pharmacy
provides 50 mg spironolactone tablets. Calculate the number of tablets the

Answer:
2.5
Tablets may be split in half to provide the correct dosage of a drug to be
administered. Half of a 50 mg spironolactone tablet is 25 mg spironolactone.
So, to administer 125 mg spironolactone, the nurse would administer 2.5
tablets, which would equal to 50 + 50 + 25 = 125 mg spironolactone50 + 50 +
25 = 125 mg spironolactone
