Question 1 of 5

A nurse in an emergency department is caring for a client who is unconscious and requires emergency medical procedures. The nurse is unable to locate members of the client's family to obtain consent. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Proceed with provision of medical care. In emergency situations where a patient is unconscious and family consent cannot be obtained, the nurse has a duty to provide necessary medical care to ensure the patient's safety and well-being. This is based on the principle of beneficence, which prioritizes the patient's best interests. Contacting the ethics committee (option
A) may cause unnecessary delays, obtaining consent from the employer (option
B) is inappropriate, and limiting care to comfort measures (option
C) may not address the underlying medical issue.
Therefore, proceeding with medical care (option
D) is the most ethically sound action to take in this scenario.
