MedicationsCâu 36 / 100
Which of the following is classified as a high-alert medication?
a.Loratadine 10 mg tablets
b.Acetaminophen 325 mg tablets
c.Docusate sodium 100 mg capsules
d.Concentrated potassium chloride injection
Giải thích
Concentrated potassium chloride for injection is a high-alert medication because an undiluted dose can cause fatal cardiac arrhythmia; other high-alert classes include insulin, anticoagulants, opioids, and neuromuscular blockers. Loratadine, acetaminophen at standard strength, and docusate carry a much lower risk of catastrophic harm when an error occurs.
