Disucssion:

I am stuck on this last question if anyone know what it means. please help. I'm not sure how to answer it.
Mrs. Deer has been your patient for the past week. As you review her medication profile, you note these three new medications have been ordered. List one nursing action and rationale per medication that must be performed and documented prior to administration of these medications?
Lopressor 25 mg po BID
Nitropaste 1" every 6 hours
KCL (potassium chloride) 20mEq orally every other day
