D
The first step the nurse should take is to inform the physician that the behavior is both unwelcome and inappropriate, and the physician should be told to stop immediately. It may become necessary to inform the nursing supervisor of the physician's behavior but it is not the best first step for the nurse to take. Calling the medical board would be inappropriate and should not be the first step. Reporting the behavior to the chief of staff would ignore the chain of command and would be unprofessional.
