a)8:30 a.m.
b)10:00 a.m.
c)11:00 a.m.
d)12:00 p.m.

Answer 1

The nurse should administer the medication at 9:00 a.m. as scheduled.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse should administer the medication at 9:00 a.m., which is the time specified in the question. Option b)10:00 a.m., would be too late because it is an hour after the scheduled time. Option a)8:30 a.m., would be too early as the medication is supposed to be given at 9:00 a.m. Options c)11:00 a.m., and d)12:00 p.m., are even later and would deviate further from the scheduled time.
