Question 1 of 5
In completing a client's preoperative routine, the nurse finds that the operative permit is not signed. The client begins to ask more questions about the surgical procedure. What action should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action for the nurse to take in this situation is to inform the surgeon that the operative permit is not signed and that the client has questions about the surgery. It is the responsibility of the surgeon to explain the procedure to the client and obtain the client's signature on the permit. While the nurse can witness the client's signature on the permit, the procedure must first be explained by the healthcare provider or surgeon, including addressing the client's questions.
Therefore, informing the surgeon is the priority to ensure proper communication and consent before the surgery. Answering the client's questions about the surgery (

B) may not provide accurate information and could lead to misunderstanding. Reassuring the client (
Choice
D) is important, but obtaining proper consent and addressing concerns should come first. Witnessing the client's signature (
Choice
A) is not sufficient if the client has unanswered questions and the permit is not signed.
