Correct Answer is B

Explanation

immediate treatment to prevent harm, consent for treatment can be assumed based on the principle of implied consent.
C. Contacting the client's next of kin for consent might delay necessary treatment for the disoriented and arrhythmic client, which could be harmful.
D. Having the client sign a consent for treatment might not be feasible or appropriate if the client is disoriented and lacks decision-making capacity in an emergency situation.

A. "You'll be fine. You'll receive a prescription for pain medication." B. "Why didn't you discuss your concerns with your provider?" C. "If you have the procedure now, you won't have to deal with pain and disability later." D. "I understand, and it's not too late to change your mind,"

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Dismissing the client's concerns and suggesting pain medication without addressing the client's worries isn't an empathetic or helpful response.
B. Asking why the client didn't discuss concerns with the provider might make the client feel guilty or judged for their decision.
