In preparing to administer an intravenous medication, the nurse notes that the drug is listed in the drug reference guide as being incompatible with the currently infusing intravenous solution of Ringer's Lactate. What action should the nurse take?

A. Administering despite known incompatibility risks adverse reactions and harm to the client. B. Flushing before and after may help with some medications, but if the drug is incompatible with the solution, more comprehensive action is required. C. Holding the dose and notifying the healthcare provider is correct to ensure safe medication administration and to obtain an alternative plan, such as changing the IV fluid or route. D. Discontinuing the IV solution may be premature without consulting the provider; the solution may need to be changed rather than stopped entirely.
