This is a ―right route‖ problem: the nurse cannot
assume the route and must clarify the route
with the prescriber. This is not a ―right time‖
problem because the ordered frequency has not
changed. This is not a ―right dose‖ problem
because the dose is not related to an inability to
swallow. This is not a ―right medication‖
problem because the medication ordered will not
change, just the route.
