B. "Advance directives include a living will and a healthcare proxy."
C. "My family can make all my healthcare decisions without any legal documents."
D. "Advance directives only apply if I'm in a coma."
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Advance directives include a living will (which specifies what medical
treatments a person wants or doesn't want) and a healthcare proxy (which
designates someone to make healthcare decisions on the person's behalf). Option A
is incorrect because advance directives should be created before they are needed.
Option C is incorrect because without a legal healthcare proxy, family members
may not have legal authority to make decisions. Option D is incorrect because
advance directives apply in various situations, not just coma.

directives should the nurse take?
A. Avoid discussing advance directives to prevent upsetting the client
B. Document the client's decision about end-of-life care in the medical record
C. Tell the client that advance directives are only for older adults
D. Make the decision about advance directives for the client
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should document the client's decision about end-of-life care
in the medical record. This ensures that the healthcare team is aware of the client's
wishes. Option A is incorrect because nurses have a responsibility to provide
information about advance directives. Option C is incorrect because advance
directives are appropriate for all adults regardless of age. Option D is incorrect
because the client has the right to make their own decisions about advance
directives.
Question 3

healthcare proxy. Which of the following client statements indicates an
understanding of the teaching?

B. "I do not need to name a relative as my designee in my healthcare proxy."
C. "My healthcare proxy can only make decisions if I'm unconscious."
D. "I can only change my healthcare proxy once a year."
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The client does not need to name a relative as their designee in a
healthcare proxy. Any competent adult can be designated as a healthcare proxy,
including friends or non-relatives. Option A is incorrect because the designee does
not have to be a relative. Option C is incorrect because a healthcare proxy can
, make decisions in various situations when the client is unable to do so. Option D is
incorrect because a healthcare proxy can be changed at any time.

they are competent to do so. This statement indicates an understanding of the
teaching. Option B is incorrect because advance directives can be changed. Option

incorrect because advance directives should be reviewed periodically and can be
updated as circumstances change.
