ty ty ty ty ty


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


D tall man lettering indicates that the drug is a narcotic.
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




ANSWER: B ty


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


andfrequency of administration) for a drug order. “PO” is an appropriate
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty


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


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


another drug
ty ty


with a similar name. ty ty ty

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


professionalsand patients regarding the serious risks and side effects related to
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty


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


patient’s drug dosage.

The warning is found on specific prescription medications and does not
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty


provideinformation to reduce or decrease side effects.

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

drug.”

a boxed
