During change-of-shift report, a nurse discovers they overlooked a prescription for a type and cross-match of a client who is to have surgery the next day. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

A. Prepare an incident report for risk management: While this is necessary, it’s not the priority action as it doesn’t directly address the immediate need for type and cross-matching.B. Inform the provider of the delay in obtaining the type and cross-match: The nurse should inform the provider first to allow for any changes to the client's preoperative plan. Immediate notification is essential for any follow-up actions, as blood products might be required, or surgery could be rescheduled if the match is not completed.C. Obtain the client's type and cross-match: This action would be appropriate if it had not already been ordered. Since the order exists, the provider should be informed of the delay first to guide further steps.D. Document the incident in the client's medical record: Documentation is important but should occur after informing the provider and obtaining the blood work, as it does not directly address the current client care needs.
