Answer to Question 2

D
The nurse should question the order if the written order is illegible, or if the dose seems unusually low or high. The nurse should call the prescriber to clarify the order.
The nurse cannot independently change a physician's orders. The nurse would have to call the prescriber and receive the order for the change.
The nurse should first call the prescriber and clarify the order. If the prescriber does not change the order, the nurse may then refuse to give the medication and notify the nurse manager.
The nurse could be held accountable for administering an ordered medication that is knowingly inappropriate for the client.
