A nurse is admitting a client who is hesitant to create advance directives due to concerns about affording legal representation. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

A. "Advance directives can be signed without legal representation.": This statement is accurate and reassuring. Advance directives do not require legal representation to be valid; they can often be completed with forms available from healthcare facilities or online resources. B. "A social worker will assist you to find affordable legal representation.": While this may be helpful, it may not address the immediate concern that the client has about needing legal representation to create advance directives. C. "We can initiate medical care until you get legal assistance in preparing your advance directives.": This statement may not align with legal and ethical guidelines regarding treatment without clear advance directives, particularly if the client’s wishes are unknown. D. "Advance directives can be a verbal agreement between you and your provider until legal review can be obtained.": This is misleading, as advance directives typically need to be documented in writing to be valid and honoured in a medical setting.
