Answer to Question 1

2
1. Incorrect. It is the physician's responsibility to inform the woman of her options, explain the procedure, and advise concerning potential risk factors.
2. Correct. Nurses play a part in the informed consent process by clarifying and describing procedures or by acting as the woman's advocate and asking the primary health care provider for further explanations.
3. Incorrect. The physician would need to be present to explain the procedure to the patient. However, the nurse's responsibility is not only to notify the physician.
4. Incorrect. The nurse may witness the consent form being signed. However, depending on the state guidelines, the woman's husband or another hospital health care employee may sign as witness.
