Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing cardiac arrest and has a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) prescription. The client's partner requests medical intervention. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Adhere to the client's treatment decision. In this scenario, the client has a valid DNR prescription, indicating their wish to not be resuscitated in the event of cardiac arrest. The nurse must respect the client's autonomy and follow their treatment decision. Initiating chest compressions (
B) would be against the client's wishes and the legal and ethical principles governing healthcare. Having the partner sign a consent form to reverse the DNR prescription (
A) would also go against the client's established wishes. Contacting social services (
C) may not be necessary as the client's decision is clear. The nurse should prioritize honoring the client's autonomy and end-of-life wishes.
