of a community hospital. The primary health-care
provider in charge refuses to admit the patient. The
nurse attempts to educate the primary health-care
provider regarding the law involving patients who are
grossly disabled. The primary health-care provider still
refuses to admit the patient. What is the nurse’s next
action?
1. Admit the patient against the primary health-care
provider’s wishes.
2. Refuse to discharge the patient as per the primary
health-care provider’s orders.
3. Describe the primary health-care provider’s behav-
ior to the nursing supervisor and ask for guidance.
4. Call the primary health-care provider’s supervisor
and explain that the health-care provider is acting

ment that can be used in a court of

medical record number is removed.
