Question 1 of 5

A nurse administers the wrong medication to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Check the client's vital signs. This should be done first to assess the immediate impact of the wrong medication on the client's health. Vital signs provide crucial information about the client's current condition and any potential adverse effects of the medication error. This step is essential for prompt identification of any complications and to guide subsequent actions.

Option A (Notify the charge nurse) can be done after checking vital signs to inform the appropriate personnel. Option B (Fill out an incident report) is important but not immediate. Option C (Document the client's condition) can be done after addressing the immediate concern of vital signs.
