A client who took an overdose of Tylenol in a suicide attempt is transferred overnight to the psychiatric inpatient unit from the intensive care unit. The night shift nurse called the primary health care provider on call to obtain initial prescriptions. The primary health care provider prescribes the typical routine medications for clients on this unit—milk of magnesia, Maalox, and Tylenol—as needed. Prior to implementing the prescriptions, the nurse should do which of the following?

1. Ask the primary health care provider about holding all the client's PM prescriptions.

2. Question the primary health care provider about the Tylenol prescription.

3. Request a prescription for a medication to relieve agitation.

4. Suggest the primary health care provider write a prescription for intravenous fluids.
