Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about transcribing prescriptions. Which of the following examples should the nurse include in the instructions?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Losartan 50.0 mg. PO. QD: This prescription is incorrect due to the use of an unnecessary period after "50.0 mg" and the trailing zero after the decimal point. It should be written as "50 mg" to avoid potential errors.Metformin 500mg, 1 tablet, PO. daily: While the prescription is mostly correct, "PO" should not have a period after it, and "daily" should be written as "QD" (quaque die), which is the standard abbreviation for once a day.Desmopressin 1 ml, intranasal, gd: The abbreviation "gd" is not a standard or recognized abbreviation, which could lead to confusion. Proper abbreviations and clarity are essential for medication safety.Zolpidem, 5 mg PO, HS: This is the correct format for transcribing a prescription. It includes the medication name, dosage, route, and time of administration (HS, meaning at bedtime). This is a clear and standardized way of writing a prescription.
