Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
The most appropriate person for the nurse to obtain the information from is the client's spouse. The older adult client who is not oriented is unable to provide information to the nurse during the health history. The other options are not the most appropriate choices when the client's spouse is at the bedside.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Step-parents have the legal right to consent to the treatment of a pediatric client without written or verbal parental consent. An adolescent step-sibling is not able to provide consent for treatment, even with written or verbal parental consent. A grandparent for the pediatric client could provide consent for treatment, but only with parental consent. An adult natural sibling of the child would require written or verbal consent from a parent, step-parent, or legal guardian to consent for treatment.
