Question 5 of 5
As you are preparing morning medications, the patient says, 'I have had loose stools all night long.' Your patient has scheduled docusate at 0900. What is the priority action?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Docusate is a stool softener used to treat constipation. If the patient is already experiencing loose stools, administering docusate could worsen the condition, potentially leading to dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. The priority action is to hold the medication and inform the healthcare provider for further evaluation and adjustment of the treatment plan. Choice B risks exacerbating the patient's condition. Choices C and D are inappropriate as they do not address the current symptom and could worsen the situation.
