While reviewing the day's charts, a nurse who's been under a great deal of personal stress realizes that she forgot to administer insulin to client with diabetes mellitus. she's made numerous errors in the past few weeks and is now afraid her job is in jeopardy. what is her best course of action?

Answer 1

Probably to ask for at least a few days off from work to sort things out and relax but only up to a week or two, but if this still occurs ask for a transfer to less critical/dependent patients or a desk job.
