Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a medication to a client when they discover that the wrong medication was dispensed by the pharmacy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: File a report with the facility to document the incident as a near miss medication error. This is the most appropriate action because reporting the incident helps ensure that proper protocols are followed to prevent future errors. By documenting it as a near miss, the facility can investigate the root cause and implement corrective measures.
Choice B is incorrect because it does not address the error or follow proper reporting procedures.
Choice C is incorrect as it does not involve reporting the error or taking necessary steps to prevent recurrence.
Choice D is also incorrect as the first step should be to report the error internally before contacting the prescribing provider.
