Question 1 of 5
The nurse is to administer the patient's next dose of vancomycin at 9:30 a.m. What time will the nurse draw the patient's blood to check the trough vancomycin level?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 9:00 a.m. The nurse should draw the trough vancomycin level 30 minutes before the next dose is due. Since the next dose is scheduled at 9:30 a.m., the blood should be drawn at 9:00 a.m. This timing allows for an accurate assessment of the vancomycin level in the patient's bloodstream, ensuring appropriate dosing adjustments if needed.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because drawing the blood at those times would not align with the recommended 30-minute pre-dose timeframe for trough levels.
