Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a rehabilitation facility is administering medications to a client who was admitted earlier that day. The client refuses two of the medications, stating, 'I’ve never taken these before.' Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Review the intended purpose of the prescribed medications with the client. This is the first action the nurse should take because it involves directly communicating with the client to understand their concerns and address any misunderstandings. By reviewing the intended purpose of the medications, the nurse can educate the client about why they have been prescribed, which can help alleviate their fears and increase compliance. This approach prioritizes client-centered care and promotes informed decision-making.
Summary of other choices:
B: Calling the provider to clarify the medications may be necessary but should come after discussing with the client.
C: Consulting the pharmacist can provide valuable information, but direct communication with the client should be the first step.
D: Comparing the medication administration record with the prescriptions is important but does not address the client's refusal directly.
