NUR 301 Exam 1 TestBank Questions with 100% Correct Answers


The physician has ordered several medications for the patient. What does the nurse

recognize as responsibilities regarding administration of medications? Select all

that apply.

1. Knowing whether or not the medication is on the hospital formulary

2. Knowing the reason the medication was prescribed for this patient

3. Knowing how the medication is to be administered.

4. Knowing how the medication is supplied by the pharmacy


5. Knowing the name of the medication - ✔️✔️Correct Answer: 2,3,4,5


How the medication is supplied by the pharmacy, how the medication is to be

administered, the name of the medication, and the reason the medication was

prescribed for the patient are the responsibilities of the nurse regarding medication

administration. Whether or not a drug is on a hospital formulary list is not a

primary responsibility of the nurse.

The nurse is preparing medications prior to administration. To promote patient

safety, the nurse uses rights of drug administration. What do these rights include?

Select all that apply.

1. The right medication

2. The right time of delivery

3. The right dose

4. The right route of administration


5. The right patient - ✔️✔️Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4,5


The five rights of drug administration are the right patient, the right medication, the

right dose, the right route of administration, and the right time of delivery.

The patient is having chest pain. The physician orders sublingual nitroglycerine

STAT. The nurse obtains the medication from the pharmacy and administers it to

the patient 30 minutes later. Which statement best describes the nurses action?

1. The medication should have been administered immediately.

2. The physician should have specified the time frame for the medication.

3. The medication should have been administered within a 5-minute time frame.

4. The nursing action was correct because the medication was not on the unit. -

✔️✔️Correct Answer: 3


For a STAT order, the time frame between writing the order and administering the

drug should be 5 minutes or less. Not having a drug on the unit is not an excuse, as

,©PREP4EXAMS@2024/2025 REAL EXAM DUMPS Monday@ August 5@ 2024 6@07 PM

commonly ordered STAT medications should be kept in stock. Although the drug

does not need to be administered immediately, it should be done within 5 minutes.

It is not the physicians responsibility to specify the time frame.

The nurse uses the nursing process prior to administering any medications. Which

step will assure the best patient safety?

1. Assess the patients developmental level.

2. Assess the patients medical history.

3. Assess the patients disease process.


4. Assess the patients learning needs. - ✔️✔️Correct Answer: 2


An assessment of the patients medical history, which includes allergies, is the most

important assessment prior to administering medications. Assessing the patients

learning needs is important for medication education, but not for safely

administering medications. Assessing the patients developmental level is important

for medication education, but not for safely administering medications. Assessing

the patients disease process is important in evaluating the effects of the

medications, but not for safely administering medications.

The physician prescribes an oral medication for the patient. What is the primary

nursing assessment of the patient prior to receiving this medication?

, ©PREP4EXAMS@2024/2025 REAL EXAM DUMPS Monday@ August 5@ 2024 6@07 PM

1. The patients understanding of the medication

2. The patients ability to swallow

3. The patients allergies


4. The patients eyesight - ✔️✔️Correct Answer: 2


The ability of the patient to swallow is a safety issue to prevent aspiration of the

medication. The patients understanding is important, but not a priority. The patients

eyesight is not significant. The patients allergies are important, but if the patient

cannot swallow the medication, then the allergies are not significant.

The physician ordered an oral medication. The nurse incorrectly administered the

medication intravenously. What does the best analysis of the nurses action reveal?

1. An antidote cannot be given.

2. The nurse will be terminated from her job.

3. The medication cannot be retrieved.


4. A lawsuit by the patient will be impending. - ✔️✔️Correct Answer: 3


When a medication is given intravenously, its effects cannot be reversed because it

is already in the bloodstream. A lawsuit may occur, but this is not the primary

concern; patient safety is the primary concern. The nurse may be terminated, but
