While socializing may be important, the first nurse should remain focused on preparing medications for clients. Therefore, it is appropriate for the first nurse to politely inform the second nurse that their conversation is distracting and must cease while medications are being prepared. This ensures that the first nurse provides safe and accurate medication administration.
