My class had this question today. Our instructor supported the ATI answer D. Do you? If so could you explain why? I’ve read elsewhere that you should refuse to accept the assignment.

A nurse arrives for their shift and is assigned more clients than they feel is safe. The charge nurse states there are no other options due to a shortage in nursing staff. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? A.Request to float to another unit. B. Refuse the assignment and leave the unit. C.File an incident report with the risk manager. D. Submit a written complaint to the nursing supervisor.

Thank you lovelies.
