The physician ordered a loading dose of medication for the patient; it is to be followed by a lower dose. When the patient receives the lower dose, she says to the nurse, I think my doctor made a mistake; my medication dose is too low.
 
  What is the best response by the nurse?
  1. The initial dose shortened the half-life, so the medication would work more quickly.
  2. We always give medications this way; the doctor did not make a mistake.
  3. You had a larger dose initially so that the medication would work more quickly.
  4. Giving a larger dose initially will reduce the chance of side effects.
