MULTIPLE CHOICE nm




1. The following medication order is in the patient’s medication administration record
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


(MAR):
nm




methylPREDnisolone 40 mg PO daily at 0900. nm nm nm nm nm nm




After nm reading the order, the nurse correctly determines:
nm nm nm nm nm nm


A “PO” is an inappropriate abbreviation.
nm nm nm nm


B the medication order is written correctly.
nm nm nm nm nm


C 40 mg should be written as 40mg.
nm nm nm nm nm nm


D tall man lettering indicates that the drug is a
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm




narcotic. ANS: B
nm nm nm



Feedback
The medication order has all the required components (drug name, dose, route,
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


and frequency of administration) for a drug order. “PO” is an appropriate
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


abbreviation; 40 mg is written correctly with a space between the dose and
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


the unit of measurement. Tall man lettering is used to distinguish the drug
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


from another drug with a similar name.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm




2. Which nm of the following accurately describes the “Boxed Warning” found on a drug label?
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


A It is primarily is used to identify the safe dose for the patient.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


B It is commonly found on all drug labels.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


C It identifies serious potential risks and side effects related to drug use.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


D It protects the patient by providing information to decrease side
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm




effects. ANS: C
nm nm nm


Feedback
A drug label with a boxed warning provides information to healthcare
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


professionals and patients regarding the serious risks and side effects related
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


to the drug. The Boxed Warning is not the primary source for identifying
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


the patient’s drug dosage. The warning is found on specific prescription
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


medications and does not provide information to reduce or decrease side
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


effects.


3. When practicing safety in the administration of medication, for which of the
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


following medication orders should a nurse seek clarification before the
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


administration of the medication?
nm nm nm nm

A Regular insulin 5 u subcut now.nm nm nm nm nm


B Enoxaparin 80 mg subcut every 12 hours. nm nm nm nm nm nm


C Benadryl 50 mg PO PRN every 6 hr for itching.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


D Ondansetron 4 mg IVP nm nm nm




stat. ANS: A
nm nm nm



Feedback
The “u” should never be used in a medication order; rather, for safety, the
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


word “units” should be spelled out. The other answer options contain the
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


required components needed to safely carry out the medication order.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm




4. A nurse is reviewing a drug label with a drug name written with tall man
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


lettering. Which statements shows the nurse has a correct understanding of tall man
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


lettering on a drug label?
nm nm nm nm nm


A “The tall man lettering means this is a high alert drug.”
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


B “The tall man lettering helps me distinguish this drug with other
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


drugs that have similar names.”
nm nm nm nm nm


C “The tall man lettering means that this drug must have a Boxed Warning.”
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


D “The tall man lettering helps me quickly identify that this drug is an injectable
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


drug.”

ANS: B nm



Feedback
Tall man lettering highlights a portion of the drug name to help
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


distinguish from similar drug names. It is not used to identify high alert
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


drugs, highlight a boxed warning, or identify injectable drugs.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm




5. The following medication orders are found in the patient’s MAR:
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm




Metformin HCl 500 mg PO daily at 0900. nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg PO every 12 hr at 0900 and
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


2100. Digoxin .25 mg PO daily at 0900.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm




In reading the medication orders for the 0700–1500 shift, the nurse determines that
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


which of the following is the priority nursing intervention?
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


A Clarify the metformin HCl order. nm nm nm nm


B Clarify the hydrochlorothiazide order. nm nm nm


C Clarify the digoxin order. nm nm nm


D Prepare to administer the 0900 nm nm nm nm




medications. ANS: C
