MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. The nurse is preparing to administer a schedule II injectable drug and is drawing up half of the contents of a
single-use vial. Which nursing action is correct?

b. Keep the remaining amount in the patients drawer to give at the next dose.
c. Record the amount unused in the patients medication record.
d. Dispose of the vial with the remaining drug into a locked collection box.

another nurse should observe and cosign that a drug was wasted.

understands that a generic medication will have a name that
a. is a registered trademark.
b. is always capitalized.
c. describes the drugs chemical structure.

b. They have chemical structures that are identical to proprietary drugs.
c. They tend to be less expensive than brand-name drugs.
d. They undergo extensive testing before they are marketed.

of brand-name drugs before marketing. They are not identical to brand-name drugs and often have different
inert ingredients.
