Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a tumor. The provider recommends surgery. The client refuses, but the client's partner wants the surgery performed. Which of the following is the deciding factor in determining if the surgery will be done?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Whether the client understands the risk of refusing the procedure. This is the deciding factor because the client has the right to make decisions about their own medical care, as long as they are competent and informed. It is crucial for the client to understand the potential consequences of refusing surgery.
Choice B is incorrect because the partner's role as a durable power of attorney for health care does not automatically override the client's decision-making capacity.
Choice C is incorrect as the client's refusal based on religious beliefs may be a factor to consider but does not solely determine whether the surgery will be done.
Choice D is incorrect because the decision should primarily be based on the client's autonomy and understanding, not on the facility ethics committee's consensus.
