ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Practice Question
The nurse is preparing a female client for surgery. The client tells the nurse that she is a Jehovah's Witness and is afraid that the staff will administer blood to her during the procedure while she is under anesthesia. Which is the nurse's best response to the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Option A effectively addresses the client's concerns by ensuring that her wishes regarding blood transfusions are documented and communicated to the surgical team. This promotes patient autonomy and safety, aligning with the client's beliefs as a Jehovah's Witness.
Option B is inappropriate as it dismisses the client's values and suggests that her beliefs may compromise her care, which can create anxiety.
Option C is confrontational and may make the client feel judged for her beliefs, rather than supported.
Option D, while partially correct, places the responsibility on the healthcare provider without acknowledging the importance of the client's direct communication and consent.
