Question 1 of 5

The health care provider prescribes haloperidol 10 mg for a client with severe psychosis but the client refuses the medication. Which nursing action is appropriate?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Every individual has the right to refuse medical treatment including medications as long as they are competent to make that decision. It is essential to respect the client's autonomy and right to make decisions about their own health care. The nurse should document the refusal inform the healthcare provider and explore the reasons behind the refusal if possible. Discharging for nonadherence using restraints or coercive statements violate ethical principles and patient rights.
