You are an LVN/LPN who works on a very busy 35-bed medical-surgical unit. The RN Team Leader gives you a syringe with pain medication in it and asks you to administer this medica-tion to a patient. Your first action is to:
 
  1. Assist the Team Leader by giving the medication as requested for this time only.
  2. Administer the medication this time because it is an emergency.
  3. Take time and prepare the medication and give as prescribed.
  4. You don't have to do anything; it is not your patient.

It must be stressed that you never give medication prepared by another nurse. Even when you are very busy, when there is an emergency, or when you are interrupted, you cannot assume that all the rights are followed unless the person who prepared the medication is the one who gives the medication.
