Answer to Question 1
D
Surgery cannot be legally or ethically performed until the client understands the need for the procedure, the steps involved, and the related risks, expected results, and alternative treatments.
If the client does not understand the surgical procedure, the client would not be giving informed consent. It is the surgeon's responsibility to explain the procedure and obtain the informed con-sent.
The nurse can augment the physician's explanations, but it is the physician's responsibility to teach the client about the procedure. This teaching includes the need for the procedure, the steps involved, and the related risks, expected results, and alternative treatments.
It is not the unit manager's responsibility to inform the client about the procedure and obtain consent; this is the responsibility of the surgeon.
