ATI Nurs 100 Fundamental Final Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is preparing to administer medications to two patients with the same last name. After the administration, the nurse realizes that she did not check the identification of the patient before administering medication. Which action should the nurse complete first?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct action for the nurse to complete first is to return to the room to check and assess the patient (
Choice
B). This is the priority because the nurse needs to immediately confirm the identity of the patient who received the medication to ensure the right patient received the right medication. By going back to the room and verifying the patient's identity, the nurse can assess any potential harm or adverse effects from the medication given. This step is crucial to prevent further harm to the patient.



Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not address the immediate need to verify the patient's identity and assess the situation. Completing documentation of the error (
Choice
A), administering an antidote (
Choice
C), or alerting the charge nurse (
Choice
D) should follow after confirming the patient's identity and assessing the situation. The priority is always patient safety and ensuring the correct medication is given to the correct patient.
