How Do You Pass The HESI Exit Exam Answering Medication Administration Questions?
Medication administeration will most certainly be on the HESI exit exam because all nurses must administer medication. Therefore, you will be tested on medication administeration, so here are a few tips. First of all remember you need two patient identifiers before you give the medication. So you give the medication to the right patient. You also only give medication you prepared yourself. For eye medication, put ointment along the length of the lower lid and for drops, put them in the conjuctival sac. To prevent systemic effects, press on the lacrimal ducts. For ear drops, pull the ear up and out for an adult and for a child pull the ear down and back. For IV administeration, if there is any adverse effect, stop the IV infusion before anything else. For extravasation, inject regitine around the site. Always clarify or attempt to clarify confusing orders with the prescribing physician or nurse practioner. Always take orders yourself by phone and make sure you read back telephone orders
