Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
Checking the medication at the nurses’ station does not ensure that the right medication is given to the right client.
Choice B rationale:
Checking the medication at the client’s bedside ensures that the right medication is given to the right client.
Choice C rationale:
Checking the medication at the time of documentation is too late to prevent medication errors.
Choice D rationale:
Checking the medication in the area where the nurse obtained the medication does not ensure that the right medication is given to the right client.

A. 2 mL. B. 2.5 mL. C. 1.5 mL. D. 1 mL.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
The provider prescribes 20 mEq of KCL. The bottle is labeled as 10 mEq/mL. Therefore, to administer 20 mEq, the nurse should give 2 mL (20 mEq ÷ 10 mEq/mL = 2 mL).
Choice B rationale:
Administering 2.5 mL would give 25 mEq of KCL, which is more than the prescribed dose.
Choice C rationale:
Administering 1.5 mL would give 15 mEq of KCL, which is less than the prescribed dose.
Choice D rationale:
Administering 1 mL would give 10 mEq of KCL, which is half the prescribed dose.
