    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about advanced directives. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Living wills can be updated anytime, not fixed. This misinformation contradicts legal flexibility, key for clients to understand in directives.Choice B reason: Surrogates needn’t be family; any trusted person qualifies. Mandating family limits choice, misrepresenting the broad options in directive planning.Choice C reason: A surrogate decides when the client can’t, per advance directives. This accurately informs about proxy roles, essential for incapacity planning.Choice D reason: Attorneys aren’t required; forms suffice legally in most states. This overcomplicates surrogacy, deterring clients from completing directives unnecessarily.
