Question

A client is having an abortion in a women’s clinic and the nurse caring for the client does not think the reasoning is appropriate. The nurse asks, “Are you sure you want to do this, it can’t be undone. Have you read about your other options? Adoption is always a good choice.” The client states she understands all options and is comfortable with her choice. The nurse nods and leaves the room to discuss the procedure with the physician. Which client right did the nurse violate with her actions?
