A nurse is preparing to obtain informed consent from a client who speaks a different language than the nurse and is scheduled for surgery. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Motivation is influenced by various factors, including the client's perception of the benefits or rewards they will receive by engaging in a particular behavior. When the client believes that their needs will be met through education, they are more likely to be motivated to learn and actively participate in the teaching process.

Seeking family approval, while a positive influence, may not be the strongest motivator for learning in this context. While family approval can be a source of motivation, it may not be the primary driving factor for an individual's willingness to learn a specific skill.

The nurse explaining the need for education is important for providing rationale and understanding, but it may not directly increase the client's motivation unless it is tied to the client's own needs and expectations.

The nurse's empathy is a valuable quality that can create a supportive and trusting environment for the client. While empathy can foster a positive nurse-client relationship and enhance the client's overall experience, it may not directly increase the client's motivation to learn unless it is coupled with addressing the client's needs and expectations.

A. Assault: Assault is defined as an intentional threat to cause bodily harm to another person, coupled with an apparent ability to cause the harm. The AP's statement "If you do not remain in bed, I will place you in restraints" constitutes a threat that instills fear of harm or unwanted physical contact in the client, even if no physical contact occurs.

B. False imprisonment: This involves unlawfully restricting a person's freedom of movement. While the AP's threat could lead to false imprisonment if carried out, the statement itself is considered assault.

C. Defamation of character: This involves making false statements that harm another person's reputation. The AP's statement does not involve false statements about the client.

D. Battery: This involves actual physical contact or harm. Since the AP has not physically touched the client, battery has not occurred.
