What will the nurse recommend? a. Asking the provider if the medication may be taken before school, after school, and at bedtime b. Putting a note on the child’s locker to enco urage the child to take responsibility for medication administration c. Asking the provider if 7.5 mL may be taken in the morning and 7.5 mL may be taken in the evening so that the correct amount is given daily d. Taking the noon dose to school every day and giv ing it to the school nurse to administer ANS: C For busy families with school -age children, it may be necessary to adjust the medication schedule to one that fits their schedule. The nurse should ask the provider if a revised schedule TEST BANK FOR PHARMACOLOGY 10TH EDITION BY MCCUISTION Chapter 01: The Nursing Process and Patient -Centered Care McCuistion: Pharmacology: A Patient -Centered Nursing Process Approach, 10th Edition is possible. In this case, the most effective revised schedule would involve not taking the medication while at school. Putting a note on the locker is not likely to be effective. It is not correct to adjust the dose.

A high -school student regularly forgets to use a twice -daily inhaled corticosteroid to prevent asthma flares and is repeatedly admitted to the hospital. The child’s parent tells the nurse that the child has been told that forgetting to take the medication causes frequent hospitalizations. The nurse will: a. encourage the child to take responsibility for taking the medication. b. reinforce the need to take prescribed medications to avoid hospi talizations. c. suggest putting the inhaler with the child’s toothbrush to use before brushing teeth. d. suggest that the child’s parents administer the medication to increase compliance. ANS: C It is important to empower patients to take responsibility for mana ging medications. Putting the medication with the toothbrush can help this child remember to use it. Telling the child to take medications and reminding the child that failure to do so results in hospitalization is not working. Asking the child’s parents t o administer the medication does not empower the adolescent to take responsibility.
