129. A client scheduled for surgery cannot sign the operative consent form because he has been sedated with opioid analgesics. The nurse should take which best action regarding the informed consent?
A. Obtain a court order for the surgery.
B. Sign the informed consent on behalf of the client.
C. Send the client to surgery without the consent formed being signed.
D. Obtain a telephone consent from the family member, with the consent being witnessed by two healthy care providers.
Since the patient has been planned for a surgery , waiting for a court order will delay it and it may endanger the life of the patient. So A is wrong.

So D is the most appropriate answer .But if there is no family member to give consent and it is an emergency surgery, surgery should be done without signed consent form to save the life of the patient.
