| 1. | A nurse is caring for a client with pneumonia at a health care facility. The nurse checks the medication order in the client’s chart for the antibiotic that is on the client’s medication administration record. Which of the following is a required component of the medication order? | |
| A) | Client’s name | |
| B) | Client’s age | |
| C) | Client’s diagnosis | |
| D) | Client’s signature | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The client’s name is an important component of the medication order; without it, the nurse should withhold the administration of the drug. The client’s age, diagnosis, and signature are not components of the medication order. Other components of the medication order include the date and time the order is written, the drug name, the dose to be administered, the route of administration, the frequency of administration, and the signature of the person ordering the drug. | ||
| 2. | A nurse is caring for a client with a fungal infection. The client has been prescribed a drug that has a topical route of administration. Which of the following should the nurse tell the client regarding the administration of the drug? | |
| A) | It has to be swallowed. | |
| B) | It has to be inhaled. | |
| C) | It has to be applied on the skin. | |
| D) | It has to be injected. | |
| Ans: | C | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse should tell the client that the drug is to be administered by application on the skin because it has a topical route of administration. A drug that has to be taken orally is administered by swallowing or installation through an enteral tube. Aerosol drugs are inhaled, and injections are administered through the parenteral route. | ||
| 3. | The nurse is caring for a client who has been prescribed a daily dose of enteric-coated ASA. Which of the following should the nurse inform the client regarding the administration of this drug? | |
| A) | It can be cut into pieces. | |
| B) | It should not be chewed. | |
| C) | It should not be opened. | |
| D) | It is available in liquid form. | |
| Ans: | B | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse should inform the client that enteric-coated drugs should not be chewed, crushed, or cut, because if the integrity of the coating is impaired, it dissolves prematurely in the gastric secretions and can irritate the lining of the stomach or be absorbed too quickly. Solid oral drugs that are not enteric-coated may have a groove so that they can be cut into pieces. Capsules, not enteric-coated tablets, should not be opened. Enteric-coated drugs are not available in liquid form. | ||
| 4. | A physician indicates in the medication order for a client with diabetes that an oral antihyperglycemic is to be taken three times a day. Which of the following standard abbreviation indicates the frequency of administration of this medication? | |
| A) | o.d. | |
| B) | b.i.d. | |
| C) | q.i.d. | |
| D) | t.i.d. | |
| Ans: | D | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The physician would use the standard abbreviation t.i.d. to indicate that the drug should be taken three times in a day. The abbreviation o.d. means that the drug needs to be taken every other day; b.i.d. indicates that the drug needs to be taken twice a day. The abbreviation q.i.d. means that the drug needs to be taken four times a day. | ||
