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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Contact the provider to clarify the prescription. The nurse should clarify the prescription because the instruction "NOW" lacks specificity regarding the time frame for administration. Contacting the provider ensures patient safety by confirming the intended timing of the medication.
Choice B is incorrect as it assumes the client's need without clarifying the prescription first.
Choice C is incorrect as the time frame is not defined by "NOW."
Choice D is incorrect because the prescription needs clarification before requesting the medication.
