Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Call security immediately whenever you feel threatened even if it has not been verbally stated. Option B is an incident that needs to be reported. Options C and D do not show good judgment.

The instructor can approach the nurse and determine the next course of action. The other options are incorrect because the problem needs to be dealt with by the instructor, not by the student.
