C) Obtain informed consent when the primary provider cannot be present.

Feedback:
The nurse serves as the client's advocate, the team's colleague, and the facility's excellent employee by continually evaluating the client's ability to give informed consent and his or her willingness to participate and continue with a treatment modality. Unless serving as the primary provider, the nurse is not responsible for obtaining informed consent: that is the role of the primary provider or researcher.
