Which terminology correctly identifies the NMDS classification system?.

Choice A rationale:
Giving the medication as ordered despite the patient’s stated allergy could lead to a severe allergic reaction.
Choice B rationale:
While checking the drug insert for information on reactions to the drug is important, the immediate action should be to withhold the medication.
Choice C rationale:
Withholding the medication and notifying the prescriber of the situation is the safest course of action when a patient states they are allergic to the medication.
Choice D rationale:
Giving the medication and monitoring the patient for adverse effects is not safe if the patient has stated they are allergic to the medication.

Choice A rationale:
While it’s true that hydration affects skin absorption, it’s not accurate to say that water-soluble drugs are not readily absorbed because the skin is not fully hydrated.
Choice B rationale:
Inflammation can actually increase the amount of drug absorbed due to increased blood flow and permeability.
Choice C rationale:
Topical administration with percutaneous absorption can be effective in infants, but it’s not always the case.
Choice D rationale:
Infants wearing plastic-coated diapers are indeed more susceptible to skin absorption. This is because the occlusive nature of the diaper can enhance absorption by increasing the hydration of the skin.
