Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer medications to a group of clients. Which of the following prescriptions should the nurse clarify with the provider before administering?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Warfarin 100 units subcutaneously daily. Warfarin is an anticoagulant medication that is typically given orally, not subcutaneously. Administering it subcutaneously could result in inconsistent absorption and potentially dangerous fluctuations in blood levels.
Therefore, the nurse should clarify this prescription with the provider before administering.
Choice A: Tetracycline 1 g orally every 6 hr - This is an appropriate route and dosage for tetracycline, no need for clarification.
Choice C: Penicillin G 5,000,000 units intramuscularly every 4 hr - This is a standard route and dosing for penicillin, no need for clarification.
Choice D: Zoledronate 5 mg intravenously x 1 dose - This is a one-time intravenous dose of zoledronate, no need for clarification.
