Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is unconscious and whose partner is their health care surrogate. The partner wishes to discontinue the client's feeding tube, but another family member tells the nurse that they want the client to continue receiving treatment. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct response is D: As the health care surrogate, the client's partner can make this decision. The health care surrogate is designated to make healthcare decisions on behalf of an unconscious patient. This decision-making authority typically includes the power to discontinue treatment like a feeding tube. Option A is incorrect because the partner, as the health care surrogate, has the authority to make the decision without involving the provider. Option B is incorrect as the ethics committee is not needed in this situation. Option C is incorrect as the nursing supervisor's review of advance directives is not necessary when the health care surrogate is present to make decisions.
