The 3 to 11 shift LPN/LVN charge nurse on a 20-bed nursing home unit is asked by the only other staff member on duty, a nursing assistant, "Will it be all right if I go home tonight while you are giving report to the night shift? My husband needs the car so he can go to work." The best response by the charge nurse is:
A) "It's all right tonight, but don't make a habit of it."
B) "Sure, our residents will be sound asleep by 11 PM."
C) "Have you lost your mind? What would happen if the owner dropped in for a surprise visit?"
D) "That won't be possible. You must be here to answer lights while I give report to the night staff."
