medium · NCLEX-RN Management of Care

The RN is caring for a client who underwent an emergency procedure while unconscious.

Now that the client is awake, which action is most important to fulfill the requirements of informed consent?

  1. Ensure the provider discusses the procedure, findings, and risks that occurred during the emergency.
  2. Documentation of the emergency in the chart is sufficient and no further action is needed, for this client.
  3. Ask the nurse who witnessed the emergency to explain the outcome to the client.
  4. Have the client sign a 'back-dated' consent form to match the time of the emergency surgery.
