A pregnant woman has been rushed to the operating room for an emergency cesarean section. The physician explained the procedure to the parents, and he asked the father to wait in the waiting room until the procedure is complete. The mother asked if the father could be in the room to see the baby delivered and to help make decisions about the baby's care, but the physician explained that because of the emergency situation, that wouldn't be allowed. In this situation, which client right was violated?

A)Because the father was not allowed to be present in the operating room, the clients (both the mother and baby)were denied the right to have a personal representative with them during their care. Even though he denied the request, the physician did listen to the parents, and there is no indication that they weren't treated with courtesy and respect. The father will likely still be informed if something goes wrong with the procedure even if he can't be present in the room.
