NCLEX Question of the Day
Management of Care QID 538
When obtaining informed consent, what is the nurse's primary responsibility?
Explanation
The nurse's primary responsibility when obtaining informed consent is to ensure that the consent is given voluntarily and that the patient understands the procedure. The nurse should confirm that the patient has received all the necessary information from the physician and understands it, but it is not the nurse's role to provide detailed explanations of the procedure or to make decisions for the patient.
