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: B
Rationale:
Correct Answer: B - Inform the client that they have the legal right to refuse treatment at any time.
Rationale: It is crucial for the nurse to respect the client's autonomy and right to make decisions about their own healthcare. By informing the client of their legal right to refuse treatment, the nurse empowers the client to make an informed choice. This approach upholds the principles of beneficence and non-maleficence by promoting the client's well-being and avoiding potential harm from a procedure the client does not want.

Choices:
A: Obtaining consent from the client's family member is not appropriate as the client has the capacity to make their own decisions.
