Answer 1

Answer:

(C) Draw a line through the error; then call the patient’s physician.

Explanation:

According to my research on medical procedures, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the best procedure that should be taken in this situation would be to draw a line through the error; then call the patient’s physician. By doing so you get rid of the the error and by telling the patient's physician you get rid of any possibility of the physician still thinking that the error was something that was already done.
