WHAT TO DO...Nurse is refusing to give PRN medication

[purplenurse1]

I work in long term care. I have a patient that is chronically nausea. The patient asks for his prn nausea medications Q6H on the dot. The day nurse is refusing to give the medications because she feels it in the patient head and he is not really nausea. Myself and the other nurse give the medication if he asks for it because who are we to say he doesn't feel nausea. I have reported this to management multiple time and nothing is being do. I did confront the nurse and ask why she not giving it. She said its a matter of her option he does not need it. What right doe she have to with hold his PRN medication? IS there someone else I should be contacting>
