A nurse from an adult medical-surgical unit floats to a pediatric intensive care unit to help. The nurse has no experience with pediatrics or critical care. What should the nurse do next?

•The supervisor can help the nurse identify which tasks she is qualified for and which tasks she can do without jeopardizing her PN license.

•Asking the charge nurse for a reduced workload may be appropriate, but you first need to identify which tasks are beyond your knowledge and which tasks you feel comfortable with.
