Choice A: The social worker is not the correct answer because they are not legally responsible for obtaining informed consent for an invasive procedure. The social worker is a professional who provides psychosocial support and advocacy for clients and families, such as counseling, referrals, or discharge planning.

Choice B: The nurse is not the correct answer because they are not legally responsible for obtaining informed consent for an invasive procedure.

However, the nurse can assist the physician in obtaining informed consent by witnessing the client's signature, verifying the client's understanding, or documenting the process.

Choice C: The physician is the correct answer because they are legally responsible for obtaining informed consent for an invasive procedure. The physician is a professional who diagnoses and treats clients and families, such as performing surgery, prescribing medication, or ordering tests. The physician must explain the purpose, benefits, risks, alternatives, and consequences of the procedure to the client and obtain their voluntary agreement before proceeding.

Choice A: "Don't worry, I will be with you during the exam." This response is not appropriate because it does not address the client's feelings or concerns. It also may sound dismissive or patronizing to the client, who may have valid reasons to be nervous.

Choice B: "What part of the exam makes you most nervous?" This response is appropriate because it shows empathy and interest in the client's perspective. It also invites the client to express her fears or questions and allows the nurse to provide information and reassurance.

Choice C: "All you need to do is relax." This response is not appropriate because it does not acknowledge the client's feelings or concerns. It also may sound unrealistic or insensitive to the client, who may find it hard to relax in a stressful situation.

Choice D: "A pelvic exam is required if you want birth control pills." This response is not appropriate because it does not address the client's feelings or concerns. It also may sound coercive or threatening to the client, who may feel pressured or intimidated by the requirement.
