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.
