Question 1 of 5
A nurse is administering 4 mg of hydromorphone to a client by mouth every 4 hr. The medication is provided as hydromorphone 8 mg per tablet. Which of the following actions is appropriate for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dispose of the remaining medication while another nurse observes. This is because hydromorphone is a controlled substance and must be disposed of properly in the presence of another nurse as a witness to maintain accountability and prevent diversion. Returning the medication to the pharmacy (
A) is not appropriate as it could lead to incorrect administration. Storing the remaining half of the pill in the automated medication dispensing system (
C) or placing it in the unit-dose package (
D) can lead to potential errors or misuse.
