It is typically administered once per week into one nostril.

Choice C is wrong because using a nasal decongestant before administering the medication is not necessary and may interfere with the absorption of the medication.

A. The charge nurse. B. The quality improvement committee. C. The nurse who identifies the error. D. The nurse who caused the error.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

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.
