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