Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is looking after a client who has signed an informed consent form for a procedure. Hours before the procedure, the client now says, 'I've changed my mind and don't want the procedure.' What should the nurse do in response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Inform the provider that the client is withdrawing consent. This is the appropriate response because the client has the right to withdraw consent at any time, even after signing the form. The nurse's duty is to respect the client's autonomy and communicate the withdrawal of consent to the healthcare provider to ensure the client's wishes are honored.
Explanation for other choices:
A: Explaining why the procedure is necessary may be important but not the immediate action when a client withdraws consent.
B: Reminding the client that the consent form has been signed does not address the client's current decision to withdraw consent.
D: Discussing alternatives to the procedure may be relevant in some cases but not the priority when a client is withdrawing consent.
