aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



represent?
aa



a. ―Right time‖ aa



b. ―Right dose‖ aa



c. ―Right route‖ aa



d. ―Right medication‖ aa




ANS: A aa

scheduled dose was due. ―Dose‖ is incorrect because the dose is not related to the time the
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa

phase of the nursing process do these actions illustrate?
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa

Monitoring the patient‘s progress, including the patient‘s response to the medication, is part of

ANS: D aa



―Demonstrating correct blood glucose testing technique‖ is a specific and measurable aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



outcome criterion. ―Following instructions‖ and ―not experiencing complications‖ are not
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



specific criteria. ―Adhering to new regimen‖ would be difficult to measure.

Education is an intervention that occurs during the implementation phase. Setting goals and
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



outcomes reflects the planning phase. Recording a drug history reflects the assessment phase.

6. The medication order reads, ―Give ondansetron 4 mg, 30 minutes before beginning
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



chemotherapy to prevent nausea.‖ The nurse notes that the route is missing from the
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



order. What is the nurse‘s best action?
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



a. Give the medication intravenously because the patient might vomit.
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



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



c. Contact the prescriber to clarify the route of the medication ordered.
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



d. Hold the medication until the prescriber returns to make rounds.
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa




ANS: C aa



A complete medication order includes the route of administration. If a medication order does
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



not include the route, the nurse must ask the prescriber to clarify it. The intravenous and oral
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



routes are not interchangeable. Holding the medication until the prescriber returns would
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



mean that the patient would not receive a needed medication.
