Stop the nurse to ask clarifying questions.
Rationale: patient safety requires clear, accurate instructions. Don’t guess or ignore unclear directions — ask the speaker to repeat/clarify and use closed‑loop communication (repeat back the instructions) before proceeding. If the nurse remains unavailable, escalate to a supervisor or check the written orders.
