Based on your analysis of how nurses demonstrate accountability in clinical practice, the nursing process, and evidence-based practice, explain how you would handle this situation if you were the nurse manager overseeing Jim and Lope.  

If I were the nursing manager, I would follow protocol for disciplinary action depending on the organization, but disciplinary action would need to be had following a formal meeting to discuss the scenario. Also, it is important to point out the intention in this case. Medication errors made intentionally versus unintentionally should be handled differently and need to be established in this case.
