1. A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about reducing dietary caffeine intake. The nurse should remind the client that 240 mL (8 oz) of which of the following beverages contains the least amount of caffeine?
   1. Brewed green tea
   2. Hot cocoa
   3. Instant coffee

Cola soft drink

The correct answer is D. Checking the clients' allergy bands with each medication administration is a safety measure to prevent adverse drug reactions. According to the Healthline website, "Always ask patient about allergies, types of reactions, and severity of reactions" before giving any medication.

The nurse should take the following actions when receiving a telephone prescription from a client's provider:

1. Ask the provider to spell out the name of the medication: This is important to ensure accurate transcription of the medication name. Spelling out the name helps prevent errors due to similar-sounding medications or confusion with abbreviations.
2. Request that the provider confirm the read-back of the prescription: This step ensures that the nurse and the provider are on the same page and that the prescription has been accurately transcribed. It allows for verification and correction if any discrepancies are identified.
3. Record the date and time of the telephone prescription: Documenting the date and time of the telephone prescription is essential for tracking and reference purposes. It helps establish a clear timeline of events and ensures proper documentation of the medication order.

It is not necessary to withhold the medication until the provider signs the prescription, as telephone prescriptions are typically followed up with a written prescription or electronic verification.

Instructing another nurse to record the prescription in the medical record may not be necessary, as the nurse who received the telephone prescription is responsible for accurately documenting the order in the medical record. However, if necessary, the nurse can delegate the task of documentation to another qualified staff member under their supervision, ensuring accuracy and completeness.
