A client on the cardiac telemetry unit unexpectedly begins manifesting ventricular fibrillation and the advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) team defibrillates the client, restoring a normal sinus rhythm. Later in the day, a family member questions why the code was called, telling the nurse that the client has a living will. How should the nurse respond?

A. While scheduling a client and family conference may be necessary to discuss the plan of care, the immediate concern is to determine the type of advance directive the client has and whether it includes preferences regarding resuscitation. B. This is the most appropriate action because it addresses the family member's concern and ensures that the client's wishes regarding resuscitation are understood and followed. C. While checking for a DNR bracelet is important, it does not address the family member's question about why the code was called despite the client having a living will. D. This statement is incorrect. Living wills can guide decision-making regarding end-of-life care, including resuscitation, depending on the legal requirements and documentation in place.
