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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Discuss with the client her concerns regarding the procedure. This is the most appropriate action because it allows the nurse to understand the client's reasons for refusing surgery, address any fears or misconceptions, and provide support. By discussing her concerns, the nurse can provide personalized education and guidance tailored to the client's needs, which may help the client make an informed decision about her healthcare.
Incorrect options:
A: Initiating a mental health consult may be premature without first understanding the client's concerns directly.
B: Providing information on treatment options may be helpful, but it does not address the client's specific reasons for refusing surgery.
D: Informing the client of consequences and the need for intervention may come across as directive and may not address the underlying reasons for the client's refusal.
