Question 1 of 5
A nurse manager is observing a newly licensed nurse preparing to administer an IM medication to a client who is manic and refuses the medication. Which of the following actions should the nurse manager take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Demonstrate how to verbally de-escalate the situation. The nurse manager should first attempt to verbally de-escalate the situation to ensure the safety of the client and staff. This approach prioritizes communication and attempts to address the client's concerns and reasons for refusal before considering other interventions. Assessing the need for physical restraints (
B) should only be considered as a last resort for safety concerns. Stopping the newly licensed nurse from administering the medication (
C) may not address the underlying issue of the client's refusal. Discussing the purpose of the medication with the client (
D) may be important but should come after attempting to de-escalate the situation.
