ANS: C
Administer Demerol 50 mg IM every 4 hours PRN requires the nurse to follow the parameters of the order, yet use nursing judgment to determine how often the medication is to be administered; therefore, it is an interdependent nursing action. Assessing lung sounds, educating the patient about medication, and encouraging the patient to express feelings are independent nursing actions.
