Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is receiving a medication prescription by telephone from a provider. The provider states, 'Administer 6 milligrams of morphine IV push every 3 hours as needed for acute pain.' How should the nurse transcribe the prescription in the client's medical record?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Morphine 6 mg IV push every 3 hr PRN acute pain. This transcription accurately reflects the medication (morphine), dose (6 mg), route (IV push), frequency (every 3 hours), and indication (acute pain). "PRN" indicates as needed.
Choice B is incorrect because "MSO" is not morphine.
Choice C is incorrect because "MS" is not specific to morphine.
Choice D is incorrect because adding a decimal point (6.0 mg) is unnecessary and can lead to dosing errors.
