Question 2
A nurse teaches a student nurse about what type of occurrence requires completion of an incident report. The nurse recognizes that additional instruction is warranted when the student nurse states:
1. If my patient falls out of a chair, I will complete an incident report.
2. If I give the wrong medication to my patient, I will complete an incident report.
3. If a visitor is injured while seeing my patient, I will complete an incident report.
4. If my patient refuses to cooperate with physical therapy, I will complete an incident report.
