Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is unresponsive and has advance directives stating they do not want treatment to extend their life. The client's partner is their health care surrogate and requests the nurse begin tube feedings. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: The client's wishes are to not be given life-saving treatment. In this scenario, the nurse must prioritize the client's advance directives, which clearly state the client does not want treatment to extend their life. It is essential to respect the client's autonomy and uphold their wishes. Choosing option B demonstrates ethical and legal responsibility by honoring the client's right to refuse treatment.

The other choices are incorrect:
A: Referring the decision to the ethics committee may delay necessary action and does not prioritize the client's wishes.
C: Making assumptions about the partner's feelings does not address the client's advance directives.
D: Involving the rest of the family may create confusion and conflict, disregarding the client's autonomy.
