It is often necessary to obtain baseline data prior to initiating many forms of drug therapy. These baseline data include what? (Select all that apply.)
A) Education level
B) Allergies
C) Drug use
D) Number of members in family
E) Father's occupation
A, B, C
Feedback:
Assessing educational level allows the nurse to plan an effective teaching plan. Allergies must be fully assessed before administering any medication to prevent allergic responses. Understanding the patient's current drug use informs the nurse about drugs that may interact or be impacted. Knowing the number of family members and father's occupation would not promote safer drug administration.
