Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The unit dose drug distribution system uses single unit packages of drugs dispensed to fill each dose requirement as it is ordered.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
PRN indicates for the nurse to administer morphine every 4 hours if needed and requires nursing judgment. Stat means the dose of morphine would be given immediately, not as needed. The orders for the dose of morphine to be given prior to the patient's scheduled procedure and four times a day do not indicate to give the dose as needed.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
