Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Reporting the error to your supervisor is the appropriate action. The supervisor is then responsible for speaking to the resident and finding out what happened. Also, every person in the healthcare system has the absolute right to be protected from being discussed by inappropriate persons.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
It is not ethical behavior for you to get the information you need from others or make do with limited information. Go to the instructor immediately so that the instructor can assist you in getting the correct information you need to provide safe patient care.
