The practical nurse (PN) believes that a prescription for a child is incorrect because the dosage prescribed is the usual adult dosage. Which action should the PN take?

A. Contacting the healthcare provider to clarify the prescription is essential to ensure the correct dosage for the child. It allows for immediate resolution and prevents potential harm from an incorrect dosage. B. Requesting verification from the charge nurse might be helpful but doesn’t address the issue of the potentially incorrect prescription dosage. C. Instructing the pharmacy to send an accurate child's dosage is a good step after clarification but doesn't address the immediate concern of the potentially incorrect prescription. D. Asking another nurse about the administration of adult dosages to children is relevant, but the immediate action should be clarifying the prescription directly with the healthcare provider.
