Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a controlled substance to a client for pain management. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: D
Rationale:
1. Asking a second nurse to record her signature when wasting any unused portion ensures accountability and prevents diversion.
2. This practice follows the principles of the "two-person integrity rule" for controlled substances.
3. Verifying the count total after removing the amount needed (Option
A) is important but not specifically related to wasting the unused portion.
4. Placing the wasted portion in the sharps container (Option
B) is incorrect as controlled substances should be properly wasted and documented, not mixed with other waste.
5. Reporting any discrepancy in the count total (Option
C) is essential but does not address the specific step of having a second nurse witness the wasting process.
