2. The patient is to receive oral guaifenesin twice a day. Today, the nurse was
busy and gave the medication 2 hours after the scheduled dose was due.
What type of problem does this represent?
a. ―Right time‖
b. ―Right dose‖
c. ―Right route‖
d. ―Right medication‖

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.

response to the medication. Which phase of the nursing process do these
actions illustrate?
a. Human needs statement
b. Planning
c. Implementation
d. Evaluation

diabetes mellitus. Which statement best illustrates an outcome criterion
for this patient?
a. The patient will follow instructions.
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.

ANS: D

measurable outcome criterion. ―Following instructions‖ and ―not

regimen‖ would be difficult to measure.

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.
