Question 1 of 5
A health care provider has written an order for digoxin for the patient, but the nurse cannot read whether the order is for 0.25 mg or 0.125 mg. What action would be the best to prevent a medication error?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct action is to choose option D: Contact the health care provider to clarify the illegible order. This is the best course of action because the nurse should always seek clarification directly from the prescriber when faced with an unclear or illegible order to ensure patient safety. Consulting another nurse or a drug handbook may lead to assumptions and potential errors. Contacting the hospital pharmacist is not the most direct approach and may delay administration. It is crucial to communicate directly with the prescriber to obtain the correct information and prevent medication errors.
