Correct Answer is C
Explanation
In this scenario, the nurse has a role to respect the parents’ autonomy but also be an advocate for the health of the client who is a minor. The nurse needs the input of the ethics committee to assist in navigating the ethical dilemma.
The other clients’, A, B and D, do not pose any ethical dilemmas for the nurse as they are adult and can make legally binding decisions.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
The oldest child has durable power of attorney to make healthcare decision on behalf of the client when he is unable to make decisions. However, the client in this case is fully oriented and, therefore, he is legally allowed to make the decision unless he explicitly gives the authority to the partner, provider or oldest child.
