Final answer:

Nurse B should not log in momentarily for Nurse A as it is not appropriate to share login credentials. Nurse B should encourage Nurse A to seek technical support or notify the appropriate supervisor instead.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Nurse A is having difficulty logging into the automated medication-dispensing system, it would not be appropriate for Nurse B to log in momentarily on their behalf. This is because each nurse is responsible for their own actions and should not share login credentials or perform tasks on behalf of another nurse. Nurse B should encourage Nurse A to seek technical support or notify the appropriate supervisor to address the issue. Sharing login credentials can lead to security breaches and potential errors in medication administration.
