NCLEX RN Practice Question

The correct answer is seeking assistance from an experienced nurse or healthcare provider because it acknowledges the nurse's limitations while ensuring the patient receives the appropriate level of care. Healthcare professionals must work within their scope of practice and understand when to seek guidance to prevent potential harm to the patient. The other options, while they may involve well-meaning intentions, are inappropriate because they either avoid addressing the situation directly or do not ensure the patient receives timely and effective care. Asking the patient to wait when in a critical condition delays necessary intervention, and performing procedures that the nurse is unfamiliar with risks patient safety.
