Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an anxiety disorder and is scheduled for a procedure. The client informs the nurse that they do not want to have the procedure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Inform the client that they have the legal right to refuse treatment at any time. This is the most appropriate action because it respects the client's autonomy and right to make decisions about their own healthcare. By informing the client of their legal rights, the nurse empowers the client to make an informed choice regarding the procedure.
Choice A is incorrect because it disregards the client's wishes and autonomy.
Choice B is unnecessary as the nurse can handle the situation appropriately.
Choice C is incorrect as consent should come directly from the client unless they are unable to provide it themselves.
