A client has experienced a postpartum hemorrhage. The primary health care provider verbally ordered carboprost tromethamine (Hemabate) 0.25 mg IM stat at the time of the hemorrhage and this was given by the nurse. The primary health care provider put a prescription into the electronic medical record for 0.25 mg carboprost tromethamine IV stat. When seeing the prescription, how should the nurse administering the carboprost tromethamine respond?

1. Ask the charge nurse to have a discussion with the primary health care provider about the prescription.

2. Initiate an incident report.

3. Call the primary health care provider, discuss the prescription, and request revision if heard correctly.

4. Wait until the primary health care provider returns to the unit and discuss the situation in person.
