问题 单项选择题

While performing rounds, a nurse finds that a client is receiving the wrong IV solution. The nurse’s initial response should be to()

A. remove the IV catheter and call the physician.

B. write up an incident report describing the mistake.

C. slow the IV flow rate and hang the appropriate solution.

D. wait until the next bottle is due and then change to the proper solution.

答案

参考答案:C

解析:

When a client is getting the wrong IV solution, the nurse should maintain the access and start the proper solution. Removing the catheter is unnecessary and subjects the client to unnecessary needlesticks. Waiting until the next bottle is due is inappropriate and places the client at risk for problems and the nurse in legal jeopardy. An incident report describing the specific error should be completed after the correct solution has been started.
