Answer:

D. It is outside the nurse's scope of practice to prescribe medication

Explanation:

In a health care facility, nurses are not allowed to prescribe drugs because it lies outside their scope.

Irrespective of the magnitude of complain from the patient, it is not the responsibility of the registered nurse to prescribe new drugs to a patient receiving care in healthcare facility.

Hence the nurse should refuse to grant the request of the patient.

Which of these is the best way to avoid gun violence?
Andru [333]
The correct answer would be C. Be assertive but not aggressive. Reacting without thinking tends to put people into negative situations, carrying a gun for protection can still lead to gun violence. Escalating in a situation leads to harmful endings. Being calm and not aggressive is the best way to approach an issue. 

Hope this helps!
