A nurse is caring for a client who requires a transfusion of one unit of packed RBCs. The nurse receives the following prescription: “Diphenhydramine 50 mg by mouth once, one hour prior to transfusion.â€. The nurse should identify this as which of the following types of prescription?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Single prescription. This is because a single prescription is given for a specific one-time dose or administration. In this case, the nurse is instructed to give diphenhydramine 50 mg once, one hour prior to the transfusion of packed RBCs. This is a one-time order for a specific event.
A standing prescription is for medications to be administered regularly at set intervals. A stat prescription is for an immediate, one-time dose. A PRN prescription is for medication to be given as needed based on specific circumstances.
In summary, the prescription given in the scenario is a single prescription because it is a one-time order for a specific event, the transfusion of packed RBCs.
