A new protocol for fall prevention is being implemented on the medical unit. During safety rounds, the practical nurse (PN) identifies that an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) has omitted a vital component of the protocol After implementing the missing component, which action should the PN take?

A. Assign the UAP to more stable clients the next day: Changing assignments may reduce immediate risk but does not address the knowledge gap or prevent future errors. It is a reactive measure rather than a corrective one. B. Supervise the UAP after reviewing the protocol: Reviewing the protocol and providing supervision ensures that the UAP understands the correct procedure and can implement it safely in the future. This action addresses the root cause of the omission and promotes adherence to safety standards. C. Report the UAP's omission to the charge nurse: Reporting is appropriate if the error is serious or recurrent, but initial corrective action with education and supervision is typically preferred for a single omission, provided no harm occurred. D. Complete an unusual occurrence report: An incident report may be required if the omission caused or had the potential to cause harm. In this scenario, implementing and supervising the correct procedure first takes priority to prevent patient risk.
