A nurse administers an antihypertensive medication to a patient at the scheduled time of 0900. The nursing assistive personnel (NAP) then reports to the nurse that the patient’s blood pressure was low when it was taken at 0830. The NAP states that was busy and had not had a chance to tell the nurse yet. The patient reports feeling dizzy and light-headed. The blood pressure is re-checked, and it has dropped even lower. In which phase of the nursing process did the nurse first make a mistake ?
