Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For an order to be complete and safely implemented, it must include the right client (to ensure the correct person is receiving the intervention), the route (how the medication or treatment is to be administered), and the dosage (the amount of medication or specifics of the treatment). The client's age and sex might be relevant for some treatments but are not universally required for an order to be considered complete.
