A client is admitted from a local skilled nursing facility to the outpatient surgery center for surgical debridement of a stage 4 sacral pressure ulcer. The perioperative nurse discovers that the client does not have a signed consent form for the surgery on the chart or in the surgery center. The client says that they have not talked to the surgeon and that they have many questions regarding their surgery. When informed of this, the surgeon tells the nurse to have the client sign the informed consent form, and he will review it prior to the surgery. What should the nurse do?
