Answer to Question 1

Here to give you a feedback, your answer was right Awesome

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The nurse would enter the order as 0.0125 mg daily and would include the words daily, or once a day on printed material given to the client. The nurse would change the doctor's order when giving instruction to the client to the correct format, placing a zero before a decimal and changing qd, which can be interpreted incorrectly and should not be used. Saying that the nurse will be contacting the doctor because the order is inappropriate is not necessary; the nurse can interpret the order and write it for the client in an appropriate manner. Oral instructions are appropriate, but written instructions help the client to review instructions if forgotten.
