    Sample answer outline

    1. Don't carry out an order you believe is unsafe. Pause first.
    2. Check yourself: the chart, the medication reference, any recent changes in the patient's condition.
    3. Call the prescriber with a structured message (situation, background, assessment, recommendation) and ask directly.
    4. If you're still concerned, go up the chain: charge nurse, supervisor.
    5. Document the conversation and the outcome.

    What makes it work

    • Shows the nurse's role as a safety check, done respectfully.
    • A clear escalation path, not a confrontation.
