A resident's family asks if you can administer an herbal preparation they bought from a health food store. What should you do?

  1. a. Ignore the family's request

  2. b. Call the manager and have the family speak to the manager

  3. c. Administer the herbal preparation without notifying anyone

  4. d. Consult with another resident for advice

The correct answer is: b. Call the manager and have the family speak to the manager

You should not ignore the family's request because it is important to address any concerns they may have about their loved one's care. Administering the herbal preparation without notifying anyone could potentially be dangerous as it may interact with other medications or treatments the resident is receiving. Consulting with another resident for advice is not an appropriate course of action as they may not have the necessary knowledge or authority to make decisions about the resident's care. It is best to consult with the manager in order to properly assess the safety and effectiveness of the herbal preparation and to ensure that it is in line with the resident's care plan.
