B. Families are unable to make informed choices due to stress.
C. Birth results in changes in relationships.
D. Families require little information to make appropriate decisions for care.

healthy event in the life of the family; and families are capable of making decisions
about their own care if given adequate information and professional support.

A. Smoking

Rationale: The group needs to address cardiovascular di s e a s e , th e number one

to heart disease and the development of cancer. However, heart disease and cancer
can occur in any woman regardless of her smoking history cancer is the
second leading cause of death, with women having a one in three lifetime risk of
developing cancer. Diabetes is another important health condition that can affect
women. However, it is not the major health problem that heart disease is.

3. A nurse is conducting an orientation program for a group of newly hired nurses.
As part of the program, the nurse is reviewing the issueaobirfb.icnofmo/tremst ed
consent. The nurse determines that the teaching was effective when the group
identifies which situation as a violation of informed consent?
A. Performing a procedure on a 15-year-old without parental consent
B. Serving as a witness to the signature process on an operative permit
C. Asking whether the client understands what she is signing following receiving
education
D. Getting verbal consent over the phone for an emergency procedure from the spouse
of a unconscious woman

Answer: A

Rationale: In most states, only clients over the age of 18 can legally provide consent
for health care. Serving as a witness to the signature process, asking
whether the client understands what she is signing, and getting verbal consent over
the phone for emergency procedures are all key to informed consent and are not
violations.

5. A 9-month-old with glaucoma requires surgery. The
inabfiarbn.cto'ms/tepsat rents are divorced. To obtain informed consent,
which action would be most appropriate?
A. Contacting the father for informed consent
B. Obtaining informed consent from the mother
C. Seeking a court ruling on the course of care
D. Determining sole or joint custody by the parents

, Answer: D

Rationale: The most appropriate action would be to determine legal custody by
court decree. If the parents have joint custody, then either parent may give
consent, but it is always best to have consent given by both parents. The parent
with only physical custody may give consent for emergency care. The last resort
is
getting a court ruling; usually this is not necessary unless the parents disagree about
the care of the child.
