Question

The nurse is explaining about antigens and antibodies when the client asks where antibodies come from. which is an appropriate response? select all that apply.

Answer 1

Informed consent and disclosing necessary information is a right that all patients have. They have the right to ask what they are receiving and the treatments they are undergoing. Now, when situations arise where information such as where antibodies come from, it might be appropriate to provide a vague but informative response to the client. However, still in the basis of truth, just that to protect the client from unnecessary anxiety it might be best to provide a slight vague but honest reply.
