Answer to Question 1
ANS: C
The ISMP recommendations for standardized medication order sets include such elements as the drug name (generic followed by brand when appropriate), metric dose/strength, frequency and duration, route, and indication. Although a prescription may include volume or number of tablets, the essential component is dose or strength, because the volume or number of tablets may vary by manufacturer. The exact hour of administration can be based on factors such as the frequency, agency protocols, and patient preferences.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: D
Tallman lettering is a term coined by ISMP to describe the practice of using unique letter characteristics of similar drug names known to have been confused with one another. Tallman lettering is used to differentiate products with look-alike names such as BenaDRYL (antihistamine) and BenaZEPRIL (ace inhibitor). The other options are examples of safety-enhancing technologies strategies designed to minimize drug errors, but they are not directed at look-alike medications. Automatic alerts are computer-generated alarms that can be programmed to occur with such things as allergies and incompatible medications. Bar coding is used with medication administration systems that can be programmed to match patient identification bracelets with documentation. Computer order entry systems are designed to include components of a standard medication order.
