A nurse is witnessing a surgeon obtain informed consent from a client. Which of the following legal requirements is met by this action?

Rationale: A. The nurse’s role as a witness confirms that the client signed the consent form voluntarily, without coercion, and was competent at the time of signing. This verifies that the client’s consent was given freely. B. The client retains the right to refuse or withdraw consent at any time before the procedure begins, even after signing the consent form. C. The surgeon, not the nurse, is responsible for explaining the procedure, including its risks, benefits, and alternatives. D. The nurse does not provide detailed explanations of the surgical procedure; doing so could lead to misinformation and legal liability. The nurse only verifies that the provider has fulfilled the informed consent process and that the client signed voluntarily.
