A client who is disoriented and has a cardiac arrhythmia
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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Proceed with treatment without obtaining written consent. In emergency situations where a client is disoriented and has a cardiac arrhythmia, obtaining written consent may delay critical treatment. The nurse's priority is to stabilize the client's condition and provide immediate care to ensure the client's safety and well-being. The client's inability to provide consent due to disorientation and the urgency of the situation justify proceeding with treatment without written consent. Notifying risk management (
B) and obtaining consent from the next of kin (
D) are not immediate priorities in this scenario and may delay necessary interventions. Asking the client to sign a consent form (
A) is not appropriate when the client is disoriented and requires urgent medical attention.
