Which action by the newly licensed nurse should prompt the charge nurse to intervene?

The correct answer is B because documenting medication administration before actually administering the medication is a serious error that could lead to patient harm. The correct sequence is to verify the medication, check the orders, administer the medication, and then document the administration. Documenting before administering can result in the wrong medication being given or missed doses. Choice A is correct as it ensures the right medication is given. Choice C is also correct as it ensures proper identification. Choice D is correct as it ensures the correct dosage. The charge nurse should intervene if the nurse documents before administering to prevent medication errors.
