A patient in a clinic expresses concern that they were not consulted before a non-emergent procedure was deployed. According to the Patient Care Partnership, which response best addresses the patient's concern?
You selected this option
Assure the patient that the healthcare team always knows what is best, and their treatment plan is designed with their best interest in mind.
You selected this option
Advise the patient to speak to the nurse if they have any questions about the procedures they have received.
You selected this option
Explain that patients have the right to be involved in all decisions about their treatment and that this situation will be reviewed to ensure their rights are respected.
You selected this option
Inform the patient that sometimes procedures are carried out based on implied consent and that they do not necessarily need to be consulted.
The correct answer is that the patient has the right to be involved in all decisions about their treatment. The Patient Care Partnership and the Patients' Bill of Rights emphasize patients' participation in their health care decisions, including their right to be informed and to consent or refuse treatment in non-emergency situations. The other options are incorrect because dismissing the patient's concerns does not adhere to their rights, assuming consent without discussion is not in line with informed consent principles, and referring to a nurse does not directly address the patient's right to be involved in treatment decisions.
