    23. 3 The client’s rights have been violated. All clients have the right to a
    complete and
    accurate explanation of treatment based on cognitive ability.
    1 All interventions should be explained because they are not routine to the
    client. 2 When administering treatment, the nurse is responsible for
    explaining what
    the treatment is and why it is being given. 4 The Patient Care Partnership
    (The
    Patient’s Bill of Rights) states that the client should be informed.

    24. 4 Informed consent means the client must comprehend the surgery,
    the alternatives,
    and the consequences.
    1 This description is not within nursing’s domain. 2 Although this is true, it
    does not
    determine the client’s ability to give informed consent. 3 Although this is
    true, the
    nurse should first assess the client’s knowledge of the surgery.

    25. 4 Although a hysterectomy may be performed, conservative
    management may
    include cervical conization and laser treatment that do not preclude
    future pregnancies;
    clients have a right to be informed by their health care provider of all
    treatment options.
    1 This currently is not the issue for this client. 2, 3 This negates the client’s
    feelings.

    26. 3 This is considered a routine procedure to meet basic physiologic
    needs and is
    covered by a consent signed at the time of admission.
    1 The need for consent is not negated because the procedure is beneficial. 2,
    4 This
    treatment does not require special consent.

    27. 4 The client is unconscious. Although the spouse can give consent,
    there is no legal
    power to refuse a treatment for the client unless previously authorized to
    do so by a
    power of attorney or a health care proxy; the court can make a decision
    for the client.
    1, 3 This alternative is without legal basis, and the nurse may be held
    liable. 2 Explanations will not be effective at this time and will not meet the
    client’s
    needs.
