Question 1 of 5
A nurse has noticed several occasions in the past week when another nurse on the unit seemed drowsy & unable to focus on the issue at hand. Today, she found the nurse asleep in a chair in the break room when she was not on break. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action is to choose option C: Report observations to the nurse manager on the unit. This is the most appropriate course of action because it addresses the potential safety risk to patients due to the drowsy nurse's behavior. Reporting to the nurse manager ensures that the issue is escalated to someone in authority who can address it effectively, such as through a conversation with the drowsy nurse, adjusting their work schedule, or providing support if there are underlying issues causing the fatigue. Options A, B, and D are not as effective because reminding the nurse or asking others on the team may not lead to a resolution, and assuming the fatigue is not the nurse's problem to solve ignores the potential impact on patient safety.
