Question 1 of 5

A client is being prepared to have a craniotomy for a brain tumor. As a client advocate, the nurse is evaluating the client's understanding of the informed consent before witnessing the client's signature on the operative consent form. Which of the following indicates that the nurse needs to contact the surgeon for further communication with the client?

A. We talked about the effect of my diabetes on healing.' B. œThe surgeon explained how the craniotomy was done.' C. œThere are no major risks from this surgery.' D. œI will die if the tumor is not removed from my brain.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Stating there are no major risks indicates a misunderstanding, as craniotomy carries significant risks (e.g., bleeding, infection). The nurse must contact the surgeon to clarify risks for informed consent.
