Question 1 of 5
A nurse in the emergency department is preparing to care for a client who arrived via ambulance. The client is disoriented and has a cardiac arrhythmia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Proceed with treatment without obtaining written consent. In emergency situations, the priority is providing immediate care to stabilize the client's condition. Obtaining written consent can delay treatment, which could be life-threatening for the client. Contacting next of kin (
A), notifying risk management (
B), and having the client sign a consent form (
C) are not appropriate in this critical situation as they all involve unnecessary steps that could compromise the client's health. The nurse's primary responsibility is to ensure the client's safety and well-being by promptly addressing the cardiac arrhythmia.
