A nurse reviews the following medication onders for accuracy and completeness. Which order is considered complete and appropriate for safe administration?

A. 3/30/08: Fran Jones DOB 2/2/72 Demerol (meperidine) 50 mg IM for pain Dr. James Brown: The order does not specify a frequency or timing for administration, making it incomplete for safe nursing administration. “For pain” is vague and does not provide actionable guidance.

B. 3/30/08: Fran Jones DOB 2/2/72 morphine sulfate 4 mg IV stat Dr. James Brown: This order includes all necessary components for safe administration: client identifiers, date, drug, dose, route (IV), timing (stat), and prescriber signature. It provides clear, actionable instructions for the nurse.

C. 3/30/08: Fran Jones DOB 2/2/72 Keflex (cephalexin) 500 mg every 6 hours for 7 days Dr. James Brown: The order lacks a specified route of administration, which is required for safe medication administration. Without this, the nurse cannot accurately deliver the medication.

D. 3/30/08: Fran Jones DOB 2/2/72 Digoxin (Lanoxin) 0.5 mg orally every day Dr. James Brown: While most components are present, the order does not specify the exact time of day for administration, which is important for medications like digoxin with a narrow therapeutic index.
