Exercise 1

A primary care provider's orders indicate that a surgical consent form needs to be signed. Because the nurse was not present when the primary care provider discussed the surgical procedure, which statement best illustrates the nurse fulfilling the client advocate role?
1) "The doctor has asked that you sign this consent form."
2) "Do you have any questions about the procedure?"
3) "What were you told about the procedure you are going to have?"
4) "Remember that you can change your mind and cancel the procedure."
