Question

A very sick patient is allowed only one visitor in the room at any one time. An entire family of five crowds into the room. When the practical nurse requests that they obey the hospital rules, they refuse to leave the room. The practical nurse should?

a. demand that the four or five leave.
b. call for a security officer.
c. tell the patient to ask them to leave.
d. ask the supervisor for instructions.

Answer 1

The practical nurse should demand that the family of five leave the room as per the hospital rules.

Step-by-step explanation:

The practical nurse should demand that the four or five leave. As per the hospital rules, only one visitor is allowed in the room at a time, and the entire family of five is not adhering to this rule. Demanding that they leave would ensure that the patient's safety and well-being are prioritized.
