Question 1 of 5
When preparing to apply a scheduled fentanyl transdermal patch, the nurse notes that the previously applied patch is intact on the client’s upper back and the client denies pain. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action is to apply the new patch in a different location after removing the original patch. Placing a new patch in a different location ensures proper drug absorption and prevents the risk of overdose. Leaving both patches in place can lead to overdose due to cumulative fentanyl levels. Removing the patch and consulting the healthcare provider is not necessary if the client denies pain. Administering an oral analgesic before applying the new patch is unnecessary and may delay effective pain management. Applying the new patch in a different location is the most appropriate and safe action in this scenario.
