Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has major depressive disorder. After discussing the treatment with his partner, the client verbally agrees to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) but will not sign the consent form. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cancel the scheduled ECT procedure. The nurse must prioritize the autonomy and right to informed consent of the client. Since the client has verbally agreed but will not sign the consent form, it indicates uncertainty or potential coercion. Proceeding without proper documentation could lead to legal and ethical issues. Requesting the partner to sign (
A) may not be ethically sound without the client's explicit consent. Proceeding based on implied consent (
C) is risky and violates the client's autonomy. Informing the client about risks (
D) is important but should not override the need for proper consent. Cancelling the procedure allows time for further discussion and ensures the client's best interest.
