A charge nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about clients designating a health care proxy in situations that require a durable power of attorney for health care (DPAHC). Which of the following information should the charge nurse include?

A. “The proxy should manage legal issues for the client.”: Legal matters are typically handled by a general power of attorney, not a durable power of attorney for health care. The health care proxy is specifically responsible for making medical decisions, not legal ones. B. “The proxy can make financial decisions if the need arises.”: Financial decisions fall under the responsibilities of a financial power of attorney, not a health care proxy. The DPAHC is limited to health-related decisions when the client is unable to do so. C. "The proxy should make health care decisions for the client regardless of the client's ability to do so.": The health care proxy only assumes decision-making authority when the client is no longer capable of making or communicating their own medical decisions. D. "The proxy can make treatment decisions if the client is under anesthesia.": A DPAHC authorizes the health care proxy to make medical decisions when the client is temporarily or permanently incapacitated, including during periods such as surgery under anesthesia.
