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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Whether the partner is the client's durable power of attorney for health care. The client's durable power of attorney for health care has the legal authority to make healthcare decisions on behalf of the client if the client is unable to do so. In this scenario, if the client is deemed unable to make decisions, the partner's wishes would carry more weight.
A: While understanding risks is important, it does not necessarily determine the decision if the client is deemed unable to make decisions.
C: Religious beliefs may influence the decision, but the legal authority of the durable power of attorney supersedes this.
D: The ethics committee may provide guidance, but the durable power of attorney's decision is legally binding.
