The correct answer is appropriate because it reflects the nurse's responsibility to verify that the client has been informed, understands the procedure, and is consenting without coercion. A valid consent requires the nurse to confirm comprehension by the client, ensuring an informed decision. Other answers are incorrect: explaining risks and benefits is the healthcare provider's responsibility, simply witnessing a signature does not ensure the client understands, and seeking clarification after signing invalidates the informed consent process.
