A. site of administration

B. physician signature

C. use of the medication

D. frequency of administration

Your response:
site of administration
Correct response:
site of administration
Rationale: Anatomical site of injection should always be documented for reassessment of local
and/or systemic reaction. Every intramuscular injection should be documented with date, time,
injection site, medication, dosage, person who gave the injection, and record anything relative to
the patient's tolerance of the procedure and response to the medication. Immediately report to
the physician any adverse effects from the injection. Physician signature should be on the order,
so it isn't necessarily needed on the injection documentation. Medication uses and frequency
should be noted elsewhere on the medical record as well.

unforeseen situations, such as patients who require more time with the physician.

A. wave

B. specified time

C. procedures grouping

D. double booking

Your response:
double booking
Correct response:
wave
Rationale: The best type of scheduling to accommodate unforeseen situations is wave
scheduling. Wave scheduling allows for a group of patients to be assigned to appointment times
at the beginning of each other. It allows flexibility since some patients may not take as long as
others. By scheduling each patient to a specified time, time is not available for unforeseen
situations because the physician would not be able to spend extra time with a certain patient.
He/she would have another appointment scheduled right away. Procedures grouping would not
allow flexibility with the physician’s time. In this type of scheduling, the same procedure is
scheduled for the same time of the week. Double booking involves booking two patients to the
same appointment time keeping the physician from having a cushion of extra time to spend with
a patient if needed.
The patient presents to the pre-op clinic for a lithotripsy (ESWL) procedure. Which of the
