Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is evaluating a newly licensed nurse caring for a client who is using a PCA device. Which of the following actions by the nurse requires intervention by the charge nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct Answer: B. The nurse administering a PCA dose for the client requires intervention by the charge nurse because only the client should self-administer the PCA dose as per safety guidelines. Administering the dose on behalf of the client can lead to medication errors or overmedication. Monitoring for oversedation (
A) is appropriate. Asking the client to demonstrate dose delivery (
C) ensures understanding. Reassuring the client about the device (
D) promotes trust but does not address the issue of proper administration.
