Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Administering medications as specified by agency policy is meeting the standard of care. Discontinuing medications is outside the scope of nursing. Changing the route of medication administration requires an order, and would not be appropriate, since the patient is refusing it. Using abbreviations might save time, but is not generally considered meeting a standard of care.
