Question 1 of 5
Nurse has noticed several times in past week when another nurse on unit seemed drowsy & unable to focus. Today, she found nurse asleep in chair in break room when she was not on a break. Which of the following actions should nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Report observations to nurse manager on unit. This is the best course of action as it prioritizes patient safety and addresses the potential risk of a drowsy and unfocused nurse providing care. Reporting to the nurse manager is important to ensure proper intervention and support for the drowsy nurse.
Choice A: Reminding the nurse of safe client care is important but does not address the root cause of the behavior.
Choice B: Asking others on the team may provide additional insights but does not address the immediate need to ensure patient safety.
Choice D: Concluding that the coworker's fatigue is not her problem to solve neglects the responsibility to advocate for patient safety.
Overall, choice C is the most appropriate action to take in this situation to address the potential risk to patient care.
