Question 5 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science
Ricardo is a nurse at a hospital who is new to the cancer department. Ricardo has never used the machine to give out chemotherapy drugs before, so he reads the instructions on the machine and reviews a brochure about chemotherapy drugs. What else does Ricardo need to do before he can administer the drugs?
Answer
A
show the hospital his nursing certification
B
ask patients if he can try using the machine for the first time on them
C
be trained on how to use the machine
D
talk to other nurses about how to use the machine
Explanation
Reading the machine’s instructions and a brochure gives Ricardo information, but it does not replace hands-on training. Before administering chemotherapy, he needs to be trained to use the machine safely and correctly. Talking with other nurses or showing his certification would not ensure that he can operate this equipment safely.
