Question

a nurse is preparing to administer a medication to a client. in which of the following sections of a medication resource should the nurse look to determine if the medication has more than one use?
adverse effects
indications
pharmacokinetics
nursing implications

Explanation:

To determine which section of a medication resource shows if a medication has multiple uses, we analyze each option:

• "Adverse effects" lists negative reactions, not uses.
• "Indications" specifies the conditions or purposes (uses) for which a medication is prescribed. So this section would show if a medication has more than one use.
• "Pharmacokinetics" deals with how the body processes the drug (absorption, metabolism, etc.), not uses.
• "Nursing implications" focuses on nursing actions related to the drug, not its uses.

Answer:

B. Indications
