Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for a medication that she thinks may be harmful to the client. After seeking clarification from the provider the nurse still feels that it is unsafe. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Contact another provider. This option is the best course of action because the nurse has a duty to advocate for the client's safety. By seeking a second opinion from another provider, the nurse can ensure that the client's well-being is prioritized. Withholding the treatment (choice
B) may be necessary, but it is important to consult with another provider first. Carrying out the prescription (choice
C) could potentially harm the client if the nurse truly believes it is unsafe. Notifying the ethics committee (choice
D) is not the immediate action needed; contacting another provider is more direct and efficient in addressing the issue.
