Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is scheduled for surgery. While the nurse is witnessing the client's signature, the client states, "I trust my doctor, but I don't understand what is meant by resecting my intestines." Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Notify the provider. The nurse should notify the provider because the client does not fully understand the surgical procedure, which raises concerns about informed consent. By informing the provider, the nurse ensures that the client receives proper education and clarification about the procedure from the healthcare team. This action promotes patient autonomy and ensures that the client makes an informed decision regarding their care.
Choice B (Provide brochures about the procedure) may not address the client's immediate need for clarification and may not be sufficient to ensure informed consent.
Choice C (Describe the surgery to the client) may exceed the nurse's scope of practice and may not provide accurate information.
Choice D (Complete an incident report) is not necessary in this situation as there is no error or adverse event that has occurred.
