Question 1 of 5

After an interdisciplinary team meeting regarding the client's request to die a natural death, the primary healthcare provider refuses to write the do-not-resuscitate instructions. Which action should the nurse take?

A. Facilitate a palliative care meeting with the client and healthcare provider. B. Remind the client that new treatments are being developed daily. C. Provide the healthcare provider with a copy of the client's bill of rights. D. Initiate a review of the situation by the hospital's ethics committee.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: An ethics committee review mediates conflicts and protects client rights when the provider opposes the client's wishes. Palliative meetings, mentioning treatments, or providing rights are less effective in resolving the ethical dilemma.
