When the patient makes decisions other than what is recommended by the PCP, the nurse can help:
a. Provide additional education and information to help the patient understand and make informed decisions.
b. Offer support and guidance to address any concerns or barriers the patient may have.
c. Collaborate with the PCP to reassess the patient's care plan and explore alternative options.
d. Advocate for the patient's preferences and help facilitate a discussion with the PCP to reach a mutually agreed upon plan.
