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: Stop the newly licensed nurse from administering the medication. This is the first action the nurse manager should take as the client is refusing the medication and is in a manic state, which may affect their decision-making capacity. It is important to prioritize the client's autonomy and safety by ensuring that the medication is not administered against their will. Assessing for physical restraints (
B) should not be the first step as it may escalate the situation and compromise the client's dignity. Demonstrating verbal de-escalation techniques (
C) and discussing the purpose of the medication with the client (
D) are important interventions but should come after ensuring the immediate safety of the client by stopping the medication administration.
