Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who was involuntarily committed and is scheduled to receive electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The client refuses the treatment and will not discuss why with the health care team. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Document the client's refusal of the treatment in the medical record. This is the appropriate action because it respects the client's autonomy and ensures that the refusal is properly documented for legal and ethical reasons. It also allows for further discussions with the client in the future.


Choice A is incorrect because the client's involuntary commitment does not negate their right to refuse treatment.
Choice C is incorrect as ECT does require informed consent.
Choice D is inappropriate as involving the client's family without the client's consent violates the client's privacy and autonomy.
