A nursing assistant recorded a client's 6:00 AM blood glucose level as 126 (7 mmol/L) instead of 216 (12 mmol/L). The nursing assistant did not recognize the error until 9:00 AM but reported it to the nurse right away. The nurse should next:
1. Reassign the nursing assistant to another client.
2. Wait and observe the client for symptoms of hyperglycemia.
3. Reprimand the nursing assistant for the error.
4. Call the physician and complete an incident report.
