Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a newly licensed nurse regarding sources of medication information. Which of the following resources should the nurse include as reliable references for the nurse to use to evaluate medication information? (Select all that apply.)

A. Physicians' Desk Reference B. Published journals C. Pharmaceutical sales representatives D. Pharmacists

Correct Answer: A,B,D

Rationale: The correct answers are A, B, and D. Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) is a comprehensive source of medication information vetted by healthcare professionals. Published journals provide evidence-based information on medications. Pharmacists are trained professionals who have in-depth knowledge of medications. Pharmaceutical sales representatives may have biased or promotional information, making them less reliable. Other choices are not as reliable due to potential conflicts of interest or lack of expertise.
