Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client whose informed consent form has been signed in preparation for a procedure. The client states, 'I have decided not to have the procedure.' Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Step 1: The client has the right to withdraw consent at any time, even after signing the form.
Step 2: By informing the provider that the client is withdrawing consent, the nurse upholds the client's autonomy and right to make decisions about their own care.
Step 3: This action ensures that the provider is aware of the client's decision and can make appropriate adjustments to the care plan.
Step 4: Option A is correct because it prioritizes the client's right to self-determination and respects their decision-making process.
Summary of other choices:
B: Reminding the client of the signed form does not address the client's current decision to withdraw consent.
C: Discussing alternatives may not be relevant if the client has already decided not to proceed with the procedure.
D: Explaining the necessity of the procedure is not appropriate when the client has clearly stated their decision.
