(Select All that Apply.)

A. This is a professional and important action. Ensuring that a client is competent to consent means that the nurse is verifying that the client understands the nature, purpose, risks, and benefits of the procedure. Competence to consent is a legal and ethical requirement, and it is part of the nurse’s role to support and facilitate the informed consent process.
B. This is also a professional and necessary action. It involves checking that the client’s consent is given freely, without coercion or undue pressure. This step ensures that the consent is valid and ethical. It is part of the nurse's responsibility to ensure that the consent process respects the client's autonomy.
C. The nurse as a witness is there to observe that the consent is signed by the client and that the client understands what they are consenting to. However, the nurse should not be the one explaining the procedure or the risks involved unless they are specifically trained and authorized to do so.
D. This is generally not considered professional behavior for a nurse unless they have specific training and authorization to provide detailed information about surgical procedures. Typically, detailed explanations of the procedure are provided by the surgeon or a qualified healthcare provider.

A. This statement is partially correct but does not fully capture the purpose of the Press Ganey survey. While it is true that surveys are often administered to a sample of patients, the primary purpose is to gather feedback about patient satisfaction.
B. This statement accurately reflects the purpose of the Press Ganey survey. It is designed to collect feedback from patients about their experience with healthcare services.
C. While some healthcare facilities may still use paper surveys, many have transitioned to electronic surveys. This statement is not entirely accurate and does not reflect the core purpose of the survey.
D. This statement is incorrect. The Press Ganey survey is typically administered as a written or online questionnaire, not through a phone call.
