Correct Answer: C

Rationale:
Correct Answer: C. Request that the client's guardian sign the consent.

Rationale: In the case of a legally incompetent client, consent must be obtained from their legal guardian. This ensures that decisions made on behalf of the client are in their best interest and legally sound. The guardian is authorized to make decisions on behalf of the incompetent client and can provide informed consent for medical procedures. This process upholds ethical standards and protects the client's rights.
Summary of other choices:
A: Explaining implied consent to the client's family does not involve the legal guardian of the incompetent client and may not be legally sufficient.
B: Contacting the facility social worker is not the appropriate step as the legal guardian should be directly involved in providing consent.
D: Asking the charge nurse to obtain informed consent is not appropriate as the legal guardian is the designated decision-maker for an incompetent client.
