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