Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The nurse who identifies the error is responsible for completing an incident report.

Initial reports often come from the frontline personnel directly involved in an event or the actions leading up to it.

Choice A is wrong because the charge nurse is not necessarily responsible for completing an incident report.

Choice B is wrong because the quality improvement committee is not responsible for completing an incident report.

Choice D is wrong because the nurse who caused the error may not be aware of it and therefore may not be responsible for completing an incident report.

A. Bradypnea. B. Hyperkalemia. C. Tachycardia. D. Rhinitis.

Choice A is wrong because bradypnea (abnormally slow breathing) is not a known withdrawal symptom of propranolol.

Choice B is wrong because hyperkalemia (high potassium levels) is not a known withdrawal symptom of propranolol.

Choice D is wrong because rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane) is not a known withdrawal symptom of propranolol.
