A nurse in a mental health unit is discussing consent with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A. "Implied consent cannot be assumed if a client is unable to communicate their wishes in an emergency situation." In emergencies, implied consent is assumed if immediate treatment is necessary to prevent harm. B. "A nurse can explain the benefits and risks of treatment to a client to obtain informed consent." Only the provider (physician, NP, or PA) can obtain informed consent; the nurse can reinforce and clarify information but not obtain it. C. "Informed consent must include information about potential alternative treatments that are available to the client." Informed consent requires the provider to discuss potential alternative treatments, risks, benefits, and consequences of refusal. D. "Implied consent cannot be assumed until a client verbalizes their desire to receive treatment." Implied consent can be assumed based on actions, such as extending an arm for a blood draw.
