问题 单项选择题

The nurse is caring a client in an acute care mental health program. The client refuses his morning dose of an oral antipsychotic medication and believes he's being poisoned. What should the nurse do

A.Crushing the medication and putting it in his food.

B.Consulting with the physician about a plan of care.

C.Administering the medication by injection.

D.Omitting the dose and trying again the next day.

答案

参考答案:B

解析:To determine plans of care for clients who are noneompliant with medications, the nurse should consult with the physician. Unless the client presents a danger to himself or others, medications can't be forced on a client. A dose shouldn't be omitted without first checking with the physician. Intentionally deceiving or misleading a client violates the therapeutic relationship.
