Question 1 of 5
The MedSurg nurse assesses a patient after arriving on the unit from the PACU. The patient states that she is in pain, rating the pain at a 7 out of 10. The nurse administers 4mg morphine IV as prescribed. After administering the drug, the PACU nurse calls to say a dose of morphine was given and not documented. What actions should the nurse perform? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: A,C,D,E
Rationale: The correct actions to take are A, C, D, and E. First, monitoring the patient's respiratory rate is crucial after administering morphine due to its potential for respiratory depression. Reporting the error through proper paperwork ensures transparency and accountability within the facility. Informing the patient's healthcare provider is essential for further guidance and possible interventions. Documenting the dose of morphine given helps maintain accurate patient records and ensures continuity of care. These actions prioritize patient safety and quality of care. Other choices such as ensuring naloxone is readily available may not be necessary if the patient is stable and being closely monitored.
