A nurse is caring for a client who has an anxiety disorder and is scheduled for a procedure. The client informs the nurse that they do not want to have the procedure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Consent for medical procedures must come directly from the client if they are capable of making informed decisions. Obtaining consent from the family is not appropriate unless the client is unable to consent. B. Having another nurse review the procedure may be helpful, but the nurse's primary responsibility is to ensure the client understands their right to make decisions about their care. C. Encouraging the client to undergo a procedure is not appropriate when the client has expressed their refusal. The nurse should focus on exploring the client's concerns and respecting their autonomy. D. The nurse should inform the client that they have the legal right to refuse treatment at any time, supporting the client's autonomy and providing reassurance that their decision will be respected.
