A nurse is reviewing admission prescriptions for a group of clients. Which of the following prescriptions should the nurse identify as complete?

Rationale: A. Nitroglycerin transdermal patch: This prescription is incomplete because it lacks a dosage strength, application site, frequency, and duration. Without these details, safe administration cannot be ensured. B. Aspirin 1 tablet daily: The prescription is incomplete as it does not specify the tablet’s strength (e.g., 81 mg or 325 mg). "1 tablet" is ambiguous and can vary based on available formulations. C. Metoprolol 5 mg IV now: This is a complete prescription it includes the medication name, dose (5 mg), route (IV), and timing ("now"). It gives the nurse all essential information to safely administer the drug. D. Furosemide 20 mg BID: While the medication, dosage, and frequency are provided, the route is missing. Furosemide can be given orally or intravenously, so this omission makes the prescription incomplete.
