When the Nurse Is Administering a Medication to a Patient

When the nurse is administering a medication to a patient, the patient states that the tablet looks different from the one usually taken. The most prudent action by the nurse would be to:

A) reassure the patient that the medication is the same as the one ordered.
B) determine why the patient is refusing to take the medication and call the primary care provider.
C) assess for possible causes of this patient's confusion.
D) withhold the dose and verify the drug order.
