A nurse administers cefazolin instead of ceftriaxone to an 8-year-old with pneumonia. The client has suffered no adverse effects. The nurse tells the charge nurse of the incident but fears disciplinary action from reporting the error. The charge nurse should tell the nurse:

1. “If you do not report the error, I will have to.”

2. “Reporting the error helps to identify system problems to improve client safety.”

3. “Notify the client's primary care provider to see if she wants this reported.”

4. “This is not a serious mistake so reporting it will not affect your position.”
