Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct: Health care providers may provide emergency life-saving care to a child if they have made a reasonable attempt to contact the child's parent or legal guardian to obtain prior informed consent.
B Incorrect: If a parent refuses to act in the best interest of a child, the state may step in and make legal decisions for the child. However, in this situation the father is unconscious and the mother cannot be reached, so it is not known if the parents would give consent.
C Incorrect: It is the role of the parents or legal guardian to give informed consent for the child. The housekeeper is not a parent or legal guardian.
D Incorrect: Locating another relative to obtain informed consent is not the most reasonable and prudent action for the hospital staff.
