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 appropriate because hydromorphone is a controlled substance, and any remaining medication should be properly disposed of to prevent misuse or theft. Another nurse should observe the disposal process to ensure accountability and adherence to protocols.
Incorrect choices:
A: Returning the medication to the pharmacy is not appropriate as it can lead to potential errors or misuse.
C: Storing the remaining half of the pill in the automated system can lead to confusion and potential errors in medication administration.
D: Placing the remaining half of the pill in the unit-dose package is incorrect as the medication should be properly disposed of rather than saved for future use.
