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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Notify the provider. The nurse should notify the provider because the client has expressed confusion about the surgical procedure, which indicates a lack of informed consent. The provider needs to clarify the procedure with the client to ensure they fully understand the risks and benefits before proceeding with surgery. Providing brochures (
A) may not address the client's specific concerns. Completing an incident report (
B) is not necessary unless there was harm caused. Describing the surgery to the client (
D) should be done by the provider to ensure accurate information.
