Which intervention has priority before touching a client's consent zone?
a. Draping the area to minimize exposure
b. Having another nurse present
c. Explaining why the area will be touched while asking permission
d. Assuring the client that the touch is abso-lutely necessary
ANS: C
The consent zone requires the nurse to seek out or ask permission to touch or initiate procedures to these areas. The touch should not occur unless it is absolutely necessary. Draping is appropriate but doesn't occur until permission is granted. Having another nurse present is not always neces-sary unless the touch is by a male nurse upon a female client.
