If a resident is prescribed a different dose of medication, what should you do?

Continue with the old dose
Administer as ordered
Wait for the resident to request the medication
Consult with a colleague for advice

The correct answer is: Administer as ordered

Administering the medication as ordered is the correct course of action when a resident's medication dosage changes. Continuing with the old dose (option A) could lead to under or overdosing the resident, potentially causing harm. Waiting for the resident to request the medication (option C) could result in delayed or missed doses. Consulting with a colleague (option D) may be helpful, but the priority is to follow the physician's new dosage instructions and administer the medication as ordered.
