A nurse is educating a client about their rights during hospitalization. Which statement is the BEST example of ensuring the client understands their rights during care?
Relying on the care team to explain the client’s rights during their daily interactions with the client.
Informing the client that their rights include the ability to request a second opinion if dissatisfied with the current care.
Providing the client with written materials about their rights and responsibilities upon admission to the facility.
Engaging the client in discussions about their treatment plan and ensuring they understand their options before providing consent.
The correct answer emphasizes that involving the patient in care decisions aligns with their legal and ethical right to informed consent and fosters autonomy. The other options, while partially correct, lack the optimal focus on empowering the patient through active participation and understanding. Simply providing written materials or relying on staff discussion does not ensure comprehension or shared decision-making.
