Question 1 of 5

A nurse in an emergency department is caring for a client who is unconscious and requires surgery. There is no one available to give consent for the treatment. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Prepare the client for surgery. In emergency situations where a patient is unconscious and requires immediate surgery to save their life, the healthcare provider has a duty to act in the best interest of the patient. The principle of beneficence dictates that the nurse should prioritize the patient's well-being and take necessary actions to provide timely treatment. In this case, preparing the client for surgery is crucial to ensure that they receive the necessary medical intervention promptly. Waiting for a family member to arrive for consent or contacting the ethics committee could delay potentially life-saving treatment. Obtaining consent from the surgeon is not appropriate as the surgeon's role is to perform the surgery, not provide consent.
Therefore, option A is the most appropriate course of action in this scenario.
