Question 1 of 5
A nurse is receiving a telephone prescription for a client from a provider. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when transcribing the prescription?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Read back the prescription to the provider. This is crucial to ensure accuracy and prevent errors. By reading back the prescription, the nurse confirms understanding and allows the provider to clarify any misunderstandings immediately. This step promotes patient safety and effective communication.
Choice A (Use the provider’s initials after the prescription) is incorrect because it does not address the need for verification of the prescription details.
Choice B (Repeat the prescription to the provider) is not as effective as reading back, as it may not ensure complete accuracy.
Choice C (Write the prescription in shorthand) can lead to misinterpretation and errors.
