A health care provider walks into a patient’s room as the nurse is

administering medications correctly through the G-tube (gastric feeding tube). The health care provider says to the nurse, “obviously you

have never done that before—give me the syringe and let me administer

the medications.” What is the best way for the nurse to respond?

 A. “I have administered medications through a G-tube before—do you

see a problem with my technique?”

 B. “Why do you think I have never done this before?”

 C. “Why don’t we discuss this matter in the hallway?”

 D. “I know you were once a nurse, but now you are a practitioner and

you are not allowed to perform these tasks.”
