A nurse receives an illegible hand-written medication order. Which statement to the health care provider reflects appropriate assertive communication?
1) "Would you please clarify what you have written so I am sure I am reading it correctly?"
2) "Please print in the future so I do not have to spend extra time attempting to read your writing."
3) "I am having difficulty reading your handwriting. It would save me time if you would be more careful."
4) "I cannot give this medication as it is written. I have no idea of what you mean."
