The Registered Nurse (RN) Is Caring for a Client with Severe

The registered nurse (RN) is caring for a client with severe cardiac disease. While caring for the client, the client states, "If anything should happen to me, please make sure that the doctors do not try to push on my chest and revive me." The most appropriate nursing action is to:

A) Tell the client that the family must agree with the request.
B) Plan a client conference with the nursing staff to share the client's request.
C) Tell the client that it is necessary to notify the physician of the client's request.
D) Tell the client that this procedure cannot legally be refused by a client if the physician believes that it is necessary to save the client's life.
