Question 1 of 5
A nurse is transcribing a new prescription for a client which states, 'Diphenhydramine 50 mg NOW.' Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Contact the provider to clarify the prescription. This is the correct action because the prescription lacks specific instructions on how the medication should be administered. By contacting the provider, the nurse can seek clarification on the frequency and route of administration, ensuring the client receives the medication safely and effectively.
Choice A is incorrect because immediately sending the medication without clarification could lead to potential errors in administration.
Choice B is incorrect as it assumes the client knows how to use the medication without proper instructions.
