The Tylenol order contains all of the pertinent information except the dosage. The prescriber needs to be contacted (option 4). The Digoxin order contains the drug, dosage, route, time interval (option 1). Because all of the components are present, the Ambien order can be implemented (option 2). The Lasix order includes all of the specific information: drug, form, dosage, route, and time period (option 3). Recall that the sequence of noting medication orders includes a complete order along with appropriate components for the specific client.
