Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an oral opioid analgesic to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when handling an unused portion of the medication after administration?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Return the unused portion to the locked narcotics storage location. This is the correct action because opioids are controlled substances that must be securely stored to prevent diversion or misuse. Returning the unused portion to the locked narcotics storage ensures proper control and accountability.
A: Sending the unused portion to the pharmacy is incorrect as the pharmacy may not have the necessary security measures for controlled substances.
B: Having a second nurse verify disposal is unnecessary and does not address the need for secure storage.
