Practice Question
A nurse is providing teaching to a client about advance directive. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
My durable power of attorney for health care is part of my advance directives:
Rationale:
◼An advance directive is a legal document that includes the durable power of attorney for health care, which appoints a surrogate decision-maker, and a living will, which outlines treatment preferences.
◼The durable power of attorney becomes effective when the client is unable to make their own health care decisions.
◼This ensures that care aligns with the client’s wishes. Understanding this distinction is essential for informed decision-making and legally sound planning.
