When reporting to the surgeon that a chest tube is malfunctioning, the nurse is ordered to reposition the tube and obtain a chest radiograph. The nurse should（）
A. inform the surgeon this isn’t within her scope of practice.
B. report the surgeon to the Ethics Committee.
C. report the surgeon to the nursing supervisor.
D. follow the order as requested by the surgeon.
参考答案：A
解析：
Initially, the nurse needs to inform the surgeon that the task is outside the scope of nursing practice. If the surgeon still requests the activity, the nurse should refuse to perform the task and should follow the chain of communication for reporting unsafe practice according to the hospital’s policy. The nurse must not comply with any order that goes beyond the scope of nursing practice.
