A patient in a clinic expresses concern that they were not consulted before a non-emergent procedure was deployed. According to the Patient Care Partnership, which response best addresses the patient's concern?
Inform the patient that sometimes procedures are carried out based on implied consent and that they do not necessarily need to be consulted.
Explain that patients have the right to be involved in all decisions about their treatment and that this situation will be reviewed to ensure their rights are respected.
Assure the patient that the healthcare team always knows what is best, and their treatment plan is designed with their best interest in mind.
Advise the patient to speak to the nurse if they have any questions about the procedures they have received.
