Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in a coma and is scheduled for a surgical procedure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Determine if the client's health care surrogate is aware of the risks and benefits of the procedure. This is important because the client is in a coma and unable to provide informed consent. The health care surrogate acts on behalf of the client and must be fully informed about the procedure to make decisions in the client's best interest. Sending the unsigned consent form to the risk manager (
A) is not appropriate as it does not address the issue of informed consent. Ensuring family support (
C) is important but does not address the legal requirement of informed consent. While determining medical necessity (
D) is important, in this case, the primary concern is obtaining informed consent.
