In preparing to administer an intravenous medication, the nurse notes that the drug is listed in the drug reference guide as being incompatible with the currently infusing intravenous solution of Ringer's Lactate. What action should the nurse take?

Administer the scheduled dose slowly and observe the client for any signs of a reaction.

Flush the line with a compatible solution before and after administering the medication.

Hold the scheduled dose of medication and notify the healthcare provider of the identified incompatibility.

Discontinue the intravenous solution and use the IV only for medication administration.
