Question 4 of 5
A nurse in the Canadian healthcare system is concerned because a client has been denied a surgical procedure that the nurse believes is essential to the client's recovery. Who should the nurse expect will have the most power to reverse this decision?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Physicians. In the Canadian healthcare system, physicians are typically the primary decision-makers when it comes to medical procedures and treatment plans. They have the authority to order surgical procedures and can advocate for their patients based on medical necessity. Nurse practitioners, although highly skilled, do not have the same level of authority as physicians in making decisions regarding surgical procedures. Private insurance companies are not typically involved in the decision-making process for medical procedures in the Canadian public healthcare system. Health administrators may have some influence, but ultimately, physicians have the medical expertise and authority to reverse the decision regarding the surgical procedure in this scenario.
