[Expert Solution]: You are preparing a patient for a procedure

You are preparing a patient for a procedure. During this preparation time, the patient tells you he does not really want to have the procedure done. He tells you that he feels like he must do it, or the physician will no longer be willing to be his physician. Which response is correct? Provide the patient the opportunity to ask questions and have them answered. He then can make his own choice regarding having the procedure or not. If he chooses not to, that is acceptable. Tell the patient that he does not have to sign the consent form but that the physician will proceed with the procedure. Tell the patient that he has to sign the consent form because his physician has ordered the test. Tell the patient that if he does not comply with the orders, the physician will no longer provide care for him.
