Gathering additional information is the first step the nurse should take before making a decision. The nurse could explore avenues such as calling the supplier, contacting other clinics or pharmacies in the area, or checking for any other available resources to obtain more insulin for both clients. Without gathering additional information, the nurse cannot make an informed decision or act appropriately.
