the dose and the unit of measurement. Tall man lettering is used to
distinguish the drug from another drug with a similar name.

Feedback
A drug label with a boxed warning provides information to healthcare
professionals and patients regarding the serious risks and side effects
related to the drug. The Boxed Warning is not the primary source for
identifying the patient’s drug dosage. The warning is found on specific
prescription medications and does not provide information to reduce or
decrease side effects.

The “u” should never be used in a medication order; rather, for safety,
the word “units” should be spelled out. The other answer options
contain the required components needed to safely carry out the
medication order.

C “The tall man lettering means that this drug must have a Boxed Warning.”
D “The tall man lettering helps me quickly identify that this drug is an

Tall man lettering highlights a portion of the drug name to help
distinguish from similar drug names. It is not used to identify high alert
drugs, highlight a boxed warning, or identify injectable drugs.
