Question: A nurse is caring for a patient who is scheduled for surgery in 2 hours. The patient states, “I don’t think I want to go through with this surgery.” Which is the nurse’s best initial action?

A. Notify the surgeon immediately about the patient’s statement.
B. Explain the risks of not having the surgery.
C. Ask the patient to clarify their concerns about the surgery.
D. Document the patient’s refusal in the medical record.

C. Ask the patient to clarify their concerns about the surgery.

Rationale:
The nurse should first assess and explore the patient’s feelings and concerns before taking further action. This demonstrates therapeutic communication and respects patient autonomy. Jumping to notify the surgeon or documenting refusal without clarification may overlook reversible anxiety or misinformation.
