Question 1 of 5

A client who is unconscious and has extensive internal injuries arrives via ambulance to the emergency department. The staff cannot reach the client's family. Which of the following permits the staff to proceed with emergency surgery?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Implied consent. Implied consent allows healthcare providers to proceed with emergency surgery when a conscious patient is unable to provide consent. In this scenario, the unconscious client with extensive internal injuries requires immediate surgical intervention to save their life. Implied consent assumes that a reasonable person would consent to life-saving treatment in such a critical situation. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Good Samaritan Act protects individuals providing emergency care outside the hospital setting, B: Nonmaleficence is a principle of ethical healthcare practice focused on avoiding harm, and C: Living will outlines a person's preferences for medical treatment when they are unable to communicate, which is not applicable in this urgent situation.
