Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assisting with obtaining informed consent from 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. This is appropriate because a legally incompetent individual requires a guardian to make decisions on their behalf. This ensures that the client's best interests are protected and that decisions are made by someone legally authorized to do so.
Choice A is incorrect because social workers are not authorized to provide consent for legally incompetent individuals.
Choice B is incorrect as implied consent is not applicable in this scenario.
Choice D is incorrect as the charge nurse does not have the legal authority to obtain informed consent for a legally incompetent client.
