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.
