Feedback
The medication order has all the required components (drug name, dose, route, and f
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



requency of administration) for a drug order. “PO” is an appropriate abbreviation; 4
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma

ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ent. Tall man lettering is used to distinguish the drug from another drug with a si

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



D It protects the patient by providing information to decrease side effects
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma




. ANS: C
ma ma




Feedback
A drug label with a boxed warning provides information to healthcare professionals
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma m



and patients regarding the serious risks and side effects related to the drug. The B
a ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



oxed Warning is not the primary source for identifying the patient’s drug dosage.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



The warning is found on specific prescription medications and does not provide in
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



formation to reduce or decrease side effects. ma ma ma ma ma ma

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



D Ondansetron 4 mg IVP stat. ma ma ma ma




ANS: A
ma ma




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



its” should be spelled out. The other answer options contain the required compone
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



nts needed to safely carry out the medication order.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma

B “The tall man lettering helps me distinguish this drug with other drugs tha
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma

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

e drug.” ma

ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



oxed warning, or identify injectable drugs.
