ETHICS ISSUE 3: By law, health care practitioners can only perform those duties that are within their scope of practice -that is, those duties for which they are duly licensed, certified, registered, and competent.
A nurse notices that a physician has prescribed two doses of a medication for a hospitalized patient, one dose at 6AM and a second one dose at 9AM. Since the nurse knows that the medication prescribed should be administered after a meal to prevent nausea and other side effects, and breakfast is not served on the nurse's floor until 7 or 7:30AM, what should the nurse do?
