Q1
A 63-year-old client with chronic hepatitis C is scheduled for a routine outpatient abdominal ultrasound-guided needle biopsy. The client is alert, but has significant hearing loss and does not have hearing aids; the client frequently says, "What?" and answers questions inappropriately. The client’s friend offers to "just explain it" and have the client sign. What is the nurse's PRIORITY action to ensure valid informed consent?
