You are on the scene of a 70-year-old female patient complaining of chest pain. After performing your assessment, you call medical control to assist the patient in administering her nitroglycerin. After receiving permission from medical control, you administer the medication. You then realize that you gave the patient her husband's nitroglycerin. What should you do?
A) Report the medication error.
B) Report the medication error. Most services do not punish EMTs who self-report themselves.
C) Since the nitroglycerin was indicated for the patient's condition and was appropriate, medical control does not need to be informed of the error.
D) Reassess the patient. The medication error only needs to be reported if there is an untoward effect on the patient.
