Assault and battery with deliberate intent to deviate from the consent
form.
Rationale
The client was not properly informed of the procedure, and failure to
obtain informed consent constitutes assault and battery (C). (A) is an
injury to economics and dignity, such as an invasion of privacy or
defamation of character. This is not an incident of failure to respect
the client's autonomy (B). An unintentional tort (D) is an act in which
the outcome was not expected, such as negligence or malpractice.
A signed consent form indicated a client should have an
electromyogram, but a myelogram was performed instead. Though the
myelogram revealed the cause of the client's back pain, which was
subsequently treated, the client filed a lawsuit against the nurse and
healthcare provider for performing the incorrect procedure. The court is
likely to rule in favor of the plaintiff because these events represent
what infraction?
A quasi-intentional tort because a similar mistake can happen to
anyone.
Failure to respect client autonomy to choose based on intentional tort
law.
Assault and battery with deliberate intent to deviate from the consent
form.
An unintentional tort because the client benefited from having the
myelogram.
Evaluate the client's mental status for competence to refuse
treatment.
Rationale
Competent clients have the right to refuse treatment, so the nurse
should first ensure that the client is competent (D). (A and C) are not
necessary for a competent client to refuse treatment. The nurse
cannot document (C) until the healthcare provider is notified of the
client's wishes and a discharge prescription is obtained.
A 35-year-old female client with cancer refuses to allow the nurse to
insert an IV for scheduled chemotherapy treatment and states that she
is ready to go home to die. What intervention should the nurse initiate?
Review the client's medical record for an advance directive.
Determine if a do-not-resuscitate prescription has been obtained.
Document that the client is being discharged against medical advice.
Evaluate the client's mental status for competence to refuse treatment.
As a tool to organize thinking and clinical decision-making about
clients' healthcare needs.
Rationale
The nursing process is a problem-solving approach that provides an
organized, systematic, decision-making process to effectively address
the client's needs and problems. The nursing process includes an
organized framework using knowledge, judgments, and actions by the
nurse as the client's plan of care is determined, and encompasses
assessment, analysis, planning, implementation, and evaluation of
client care.
