Question 1 of 5
A client has a gastrotomy tube in place. The health care provider ordered the medication p.o. Which action would be appropriate for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action is to clarify the order with the healthcare provider who wrote it (choice
C). This is crucial because the client has a gastrotomy tube in place, which means that administering medication orally (p.o) may not be appropriate. It is the nurse's responsibility to ensure that the medication is given in a safe and effective manner. Clarifying with the provider can help prevent potential harm to the client and ensure that the medication is administered through the appropriate route.
Choices A and D may not address the specific concern regarding the gastrotomy tube.
Choice B suggests administering the medication through the gastrotomy tube without clarification, which could be unsafe.
