Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with obtaining informed consent for a client who has been declared legally incompetent. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Request that the client's guardian sign the consent. In cases where a client has been declared legally incompetent, their guardian is responsible for making decisions on their behalf. By having the guardian sign the consent form, the nurse ensures that the client's best interests are represented. Option A is incorrect because the social worker may not have legal authority to provide consent. Option B is incorrect as implied consent may not be sufficient in this scenario. Option D is incorrect as the charge nurse does not have the legal authority to obtain consent for a legally incompetent client.
