ANS: B
Report immediately to physician or health care provider if the patient sustains a fall or an injury. The nurse must provide safe care, and doing nothing is not safe care. The scenario indicates the nurse has already assessed the patient. After the patient has stabilized, completing an incident report would be the last step in the process.
