A physician is in an elevator with three residents and overhears their conversation. “how could you make such a mistake?” one asks another. “you knew Mr. Morris was allergic to penicillin!” he continues. “You know that the antibiotic cross reacts with penicillin. Now he has a rash everywhere! You’d better hope he does not develop respiratory problems. We are all going to get sued!” Which of the following is the most appropriate response for the physician?

a)advise the residents to report this as an adverse drug reaction
B)ascertain which ward the patient is on so that he can review the chart
C)ask the resident which antibiotic was used so that he does not make a similar mistake
d)get off the elevator at the next floor
E)ignore the conversation
G)remind the residents that discussions about patients should be kept private

I think A is the correct answer.

Please, note that the same question has already been discussed in this forum!

It's more important report the accident that could be the patient life that any other advice..

A is the answer...

i guess G is the answer.
advising them 2 report it as a an adverse effect will be a LIE.its not an adverse effect its an allergic reaction. and ethically we r not allowed to cheat.
