A licensed practical/vocational nurse who is in her second year of an Associate's Degree in Nursing on a path to become a registered nurse has recently
 
  begun working in an oncology unit and has been assigned by the RN on her team to access the client's port-a-cath and administer intravenous chemotherapy. The RN had attended the same nursing school to become an RN and knew that the licensed practical/vocational nurse was taught how to access a port-a-cath and had learned about chemotherapy. How should the nurse respond to the RN's directive?
  A) Perform the assigned task and administer the medication to the best of her ability since it is within her recent training
  B) Perform the assigned task and administer the medication with the RN present and have the RN chart the task
  C) Inform the RN that she is only going to perform the task and administer the medication because the RN delegated it
  D) Inform the RN that although she has the training, the task is not covered by her current license
