Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is preoperative. The nurse signs as a witness on the client's consent form. The nurse's signature on the consent form indicates which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Confirms the client is competent to provide consent. The nurse's signature on the consent form serves as confirmation that the client is mentally capable of understanding the information provided, making an informed decision, and providing consent for the procedure. This is crucial to ensure the client's autonomy and right to make decisions about their own care.
Incorrect choices:
A: Records that the client sees the procedure as necessary - This is not the purpose of the nurse's signature on the consent form.
B: Determines the client does not have a mental illness - The nurse's signature does not determine the client's mental health status.
C: Assists that the nurse has explained the risks and benefits of the procedure - While the nurse should explain the risks and benefits, this is not the sole purpose of the nurse's signature.
In summary, the nurse's signature on the consent form confirms the client's competency to provide consent, ensuring their rights are upheld during the preoperative process.
