Read the case study presented at the end of Chapter 8 (Guido, p. 150)
Is the patient correct in asserting that he has a right to know the
names and status of individuals who will be performing this procedure?
Does the manner in which the student introduced herself and the two
other team members have relevance in this case?
Was the informed consent deficient to the degree that there was a lack
of informed consent by the patient?
How would you decide this case?
A patient is admitted to your surgical center for a breast biopsy
under local anesthesia. The surgeon has previously informed the
patient of the procedure, risks, alternatives, desired outcomes, and
possible complications. You give the surgery permit form to the
patient for her signature. She readily states that she knows about the
procedure and has no additional questions; she signs the form with no
hesitation. Her husband, who is visiting with her, says he is worried
that something may be said during the procedure to alarm his wife.
What do you do at this point? Do you alert the surgeon that informed
consent has not been obtained? Do you request that the surgeon revisit
the patient and reinstruct her about the surgery? Since the patient
has already signed the form, is there anything more you should do?
Now consider the ethical issues that such a scenario raises. Which
ethical principles is the husband in this example most portraying?
Which ethical principles should guide the nurse in working with this
patient and family member?

Jimmy Chang, a 20- year- old college student, is admitted to your
institution for additional chemotherapy. Jimmy was diagnosed with
leukemia 5 years earlier and has had several courses of chemotherapy.
He is currently in an acute active phase of the disease, though he had
enjoyed a 14- month remission phase prior to this admission. His
parents, who accompany him to the hospital, are divided as to the
benefits of additional chemotherapy. His mother is adamant that she
will sign the informed consent form for this course of therapy, and
his father is equally adamant that he will refuse to sign the informed
consent form because “Jimmy has suffered enough.”
You are his primary nurse and must assist in somehow resolving this
impasse. What do you do about the informed consent form? Who signs and
why? Using the MORAL model, decide the best course of action for Jimmy
from an ethical perspective rather than a legal perspective. Did you
come to the same conclusion using both an ethical and a legal
approach?
