1. You are a first year RN and you have been working in the medical ward for the past four months. Your friend David from University has also started on the ward about eight weeks ago. It is time for your meal break and you had negotiated with the shift coordinator to have your meal break at the same time as your friend David. When you go to collect your friend (for a meal break) you notice that he is giving an Intravenous medication to a patient but from your experience of administering this medication you know that it requires further dilution prior to being administered intravenously. David has administered half of the medication already as you approach him. You explain to David that he needs to stop administering the drug and why. David tells you he has checked the medication with an RN and she was happy so continues administering the medication. The patient asks David if he knows what he is doing and he says yes. You check with another RN and discover that you were indeed right.
