Question

A client arrives at the fertility clinic for a diagnostic workup and is told by the nurse to prepare for a Papanicolaou (Pap) test. The client states, "I do not want this test. I want to speak to the person in charge." How should the nurse respond to this statement?

Answer 1

The nurse should inform the health care provider about what the client wants.

Step-by-step explanation:

The client can refuse the pap smear test (he has the right to do it), nobody can force it. On the other hand, if the client wishes to speak with the person in charge, they should contact him.

In any case, they could tell the client the benefits that a Pap test would bring.
