Question

A nurse has drawn up more than the prescribed amount of morphine for a client who is reporting pain. Because the nurse was in a hurry, they disposed of the extra medication before an authorized staff member arrived. Which is the best response from the staff member after the nurse asks for their signature to verify they wasted part of the dose? Refuse to verify that they witnessed the disposal of the extra medicine. View security footage to verify the nurse properly disposed of the medication. Ask the client if they saw the nurse dispose of the extra medication. Look in the waste container for the syringe with the appropriate label.
