Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A standing medication order is one that does not have a termination date and is meant to be given on an ongoing basis. This is in contrast to a PRN order (as needed), a STAT order (to be given immediately), or a single order (meant for a one-time dose). Therefore, the best choice for a medication order without a termination date would be to place it under the standing classification on the client's medication administration record.
