You have prepared Mrs. White's vitamin B12 shot, performing the "triple check," and are about to administer it when an emergency occurs in the next patient exam room and you are called to assist. You place the prepared injection in a drawer and lock it, then leave the room. When you return, Mrs. White is still waiting patiently. What should you do next?

B. Check the order and the injection again, and then administer the injection
C. Thank Mrs. White for waiting and proceed from the point at which you left off
D. Offer to change Mrs. White's appointment, since so much time has been lost
E. Discard the prepared injection and start over
B. Check the order and the injection again, and then administer the injection
Even though you prepared the injection yourself and have not left it unattended, your attention left the task at hand. To avoid a possible mix-up, recheck the order and injection before administering it.
