Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a medication to a client who states, 'That looks different from the pill I usually take.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct response, D: "Describe what the pill looks like," is the most appropriate because it allows the nurse to gather crucial information about the client's usual medication. By obtaining a description of the pill, the nurse can verify if the medication being administered matches what the client usually takes, ensuring safety and accuracy. This response shows active listening and patient-centered care.
Choice A, about the lot number, is incorrect as it addresses a less relevant aspect.
Choice B is incorrect because assuming the medication is the same without verification can be risky.
Choice C is not as specific as asking for a description.
