    A quality control nurse is reviewing medication prescriptions for a group of clients. Which of the following medication prescriptions should the nurse identify as being complete?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. This prescription is complete because it includes the medication name (Digoxin), the dosage (0.25 mg), the route (PO, meaning by mouth), and the frequency (daily). This is a fully clear and complete prescription. B. This prescription is incomplete because it lacks the dosage for Cimetidine. The nurse cannot confirm the correct amount of the medication to administer without the dosage. C. While the medication name, dosage (150 units/kg), and frequency (three times weekly) are included, the route is missing. Epoetin alfa can be given via different routes (subcutaneously or intravenously), so the route must be specified. D. This prescription is incomplete because it lacks both the dosage form and the frequency. It states "200 mg PO," but it does not specify whether this is a one-time dose or if it is to be given daily, which makes it unclear.
