A charge nurse is evaluating a newly licensed nurse caring for a client who is using a PCA device.Which of the following actions by the nurse requires intervention by the charge nurse?

Choice A rationale:Asking the client to demonstrate dose delivery can be part of patient education and helps ensure that the client understands how to use the PCA device. This action does not require intervention.Choice B rationale:The nurse administering a PCA dose for the client requires intervention. PCA stands for “Patient-Controlled Analgesia,” meaning that only the patient should administer doses to themselves. This prevents overdosing and ensures that pain medication is administered according to the patient’s needs.Choice C rationale:Reassuring the client that the PCA device will not cause an overdose is appropriate because PCA devices are designed with safety measures to prevent overdosing.Choice D rationale:Monitoring for oversedation is an important part of care for a client using a PCA device. This action does not require intervention.
