Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The longest option,signed by J.Williams,is complete because it contains the date and time the medication was administered,the name of the medication,the route of administration and injection site,and the name of the nurse administering the medication.Because the medication administered was a prn order,the nurse also included the reason the medication was administered.Other options are incomplete.
