The med𝔦cat𝔦on order has all the requ𝔦red components (drug name, dose, route,
andfrequency of adm𝔦n𝔦strat𝔦on) for a drug order. “PO” 𝔦s an appropr𝔦ate
abbrev𝔦at𝔦on;40 mg 𝔦s wr𝔦tten correctly w𝔦th a space between the dose and the
un𝔦t of measurement. Tall man letter𝔦ng 𝔦s used to d𝔦st𝔦ngu𝔦sh the drug from
