You have been dispatched for a medical alarm in a residence. On arrival, you speak with a home health worker who says she was unaware that the alarm went off. You ensure that the patient needs no assistance. While you look around the room, you notice an IV pump of a type you have never seen before. What prudent action could you take?
A) Don't worry about it, because you probably won't ever come back.

C) Ask the aide what kind of pump it is. When she tells you, act like you knew already.
D) Start familiarizing yourself with the pump by playing with the buttons.
