A client who has uterine prolapse
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has uterine prolapse. The provider has recommended a total abdominal hysterectomy, but the client tells the nurse that the surgery is not an option. Which of the following is an appropriate action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Correct Answer: D - Assess the client's understanding of the consequences of uterine prolapse and the need for surgery.
Rationale: The nurse's first step should be to assess the client's understanding of the condition and the necessity of the recommended surgery. This allows the nurse to gather information about the client's concerns, fears, and reasons for refusing surgery. By understanding the client's perspective, the nurse can provide tailored education and address any misconceptions or fears. It also helps build rapport and trust with the client, facilitating open communication. Respect for the client's autonomy is crucial, but understanding their perspective is essential for providing holistic care.
Summary:
A: While respecting the client's decision is important, informing the provider without assessing the client's understanding may not address the client's concerns.
B: Explaining the benefits and risks is important but should come after assessing the client's understanding and concerns.
C: Suggesting alternative treatments may be premature without understanding the client's reasons for refusal.
