Question

what should a health care worker do immediately after a safety violation occurs?

talk to the patient to make sure they do not plan to sue.

call 911

file an event report

report it to the supervisor.

Explanation:

• The option "Talk to the patient to make sure they do not plan to sue" is incorrect as it focuses on legal concerns rather than addressing the safety violation.
• "Call 911" is typically for emergencies like life - threatening situations, and a safety violation in a healthcare setting may not always require 911.
• "File an event report" is usually done after reporting to the supervisor or as part of the follow - up process, not the immediate action.
• The immediate action for a healthcare worker after a safety violation is to report it to the supervisor, who can then initiate appropriate actions to address the violation and prevent future occurrences.

Answer:

D. Report it to the supervisor.
