The physician has discussed the need for surgery with a client and has obtained informed consent. The nurse determines that the client does not understand the risks and benefits of the procedure. What is the nurse's best action?
Correct Answer: A

The other choices are incorrect because: B: Explaining the procedure in simple terms may not be sufficient to address the lack of understanding.
