Question 1 of 5
A physician has written an order for '2.0 mg MS q 2-4 hr prn pain.' What is the nurse's appropriate response to this order?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Contact the physician to rewrite the order. The order '2.0 mg MS q 2-4 hr prn pain' is ambiguous as it does not specify the maximum dose within the 2-4 hour range. The nurse should clarify with the physician to ensure patient safety and accuracy in medication administration. Option A is incorrect as it assumes the dose without clarification. Option B is incorrect as it provides an incorrect dose. Option C is not the most appropriate initial action as contacting the physician directly is crucial.
