Question 1 of 5

The male client diagnosed with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) secondary to cancer of the lung tells the nurse he wants to discontinue the fluid restriction and does not care if he dies. Which action by the nurse is an example of the ethical principle of autonomy?

A. Discuss the information the client told the nurse with the health-care provider and significant other. B. Explain it is possible the client could have a seizure if he drank fluid beyond the restrictions. C. Notify the health-care provider of the client's wishes and give the client fluids as desired. D. Allow the client an extra drink of water and explain the nurse could get into trouble if the client tells the health-care provider.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Notifying the HCP and respecting the client’s fluid request honors autonomy. Sharing with others violates confidentiality, explaining risks is beneficence, and covertly giving water is unethical.
