Patient with fever and mild confusion not yet diagnosed


Problem: You are the nurse accepting report from the Emergency Department (emerg) nurse about a new patient, Ms. Rita Boissonneau, who is being admitted to your medical unit. Ms. Boissonneau had come to the Emergency Department with fever and mild confusion not yet diagnosed. The Emergency nurse gives you the following report: Two days later, the source of Ms. Boissonneau's fever has been found to be a urinary tract infection (UTI) and she is now afebrile, responding well to antibiotics. Her cognition has improved and she is now deemed mentally capable, with the temporary confusion suspected as being caused by delirium from the UTI. But she has also had three episodes of chest pain and the physician has left an order for an angiogram. The physician was called away while speaking with Ms. Boissonneau, but left a consent form and a printed education resource with her, saying they will return later to pick it up the consent form. Is this a situation of informed consent? Support your answer with rationale and references. Need Assignment Help?
