A nurse is teaching a client who has a prescription for ferrous gluconate. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

C) Inform the client that medication will not be given due to a dispensary medication error. - This action may cause unnecessary alarm to the client and is not the appropriate response to the situation.

D) Contact the client's prescribing provider to report a facility medication error. - While notifying the prescribing provider may be necessary, it should be done after reporting the incident to the facility and following facility protocols.
