"Now" and "STAT" orders are similar, but have different time-frames for administration. Both need to be given quickly, but a "now" order should be given within 60 - 90 minutes while a STAT order must be given immediately (such as during a code blue).
"Vesicular" breath sounds are anormal finding upon auscultation (i.e., the sound air makes flowing in and out of lungs). "Adventitious" breath sounds are always abnormal!
