ATI Leadership Level 3 | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Return unused supplies from the bedside to the unit's supply stock. This action is appropriate for cost containment as it reduces waste by ensuring that unused supplies are not discarded and can be used for other patients, thus saving money. By returning unused supplies to the unit's stock, the nurse can prevent unnecessary expenditures on replacing supplies that were not used. This practice also promotes efficiency in resource utilization.


Choice A is incorrect because storing opened bottles of normal saline in a refrigerator for up to 48 hours may compromise patient safety and risk contamination.
Choice B is incorrect as waiting to dispose of sharps containers until they are completely full can pose a safety hazard and does not directly impact cost containment.
Choice C is incorrect as using clean gloves rather than sterile gloves for colostomy care may increase the risk of infection and is not a cost-effective measure.
