Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse responding to computer medication orders should always do stat orders first, and document these immediately after they are carried out. The nurse should check the computer at least every hour, to make sure no new orders have been written, double-check the name of the medication, dose, route, and frequency of administration, and note the date of a medication's discontinuation, because many medications must be reordered every 48 hours or every 7 days.

Answer to Question 2

B
