Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"l can make my health care wishes known through advance directives."
Rationale:
♦️Advance directives are legal documents that allow individuals to communicate their health care preferences in advance should they become unable to make decisions later.
♦️This statement reflects accurate understanding because it recognizes that the client’s values, treatment choices, and end-of-life wishes can be respected through this document.
♦️Advance directives typically include a living will (treatment preferences) and a durable power of attorney for health care (decision-maker designation).
♦️The nurse should ensure that the client’s directives are placed in the medical record so all care providers can access them when necessary.
♦️This promotes autonomy, dignity, and patient-centered care at the end of life.
