Medical students at a major teaching hospital are routinely assigned to observe obstetric patients and to assist during delivery. When a male medical student introduces himself to the obstetric patient, the patient becomes agitated and requests that no students be present during her delivery. The patient had been informed, prior to admission, that this was a teaching hospital and that a student would be assigned to her case. When informed of the patient's refusal, the attending physician in charge should
A: ask the patient's husband for consent
B: assign a female medical student to observe
C: not allow any medical students to observe this patient
D: have the patient's nurse seek permission
E: have the student approach the patient again and explain the necessity for student observation
F: have the student observe in the background as part of the health care team
G: meet with the patient and discuss the value of observation in medical training

I too think it is C because the consent can be revoked any time by the patient, even orally.
