A nurse is reviewing legal issues in health care with a group of newly licensed nurses. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse make?

Rationale: A. Ensure that each client has a living will on file prior to treatment: While advance directives are encouraged, clients have the right to choose whether to have one, and care cannot be delayed or denied if they do not. B. Place copies of incident reports in clients' medical records: Incident reports are internal risk management tools and should not be placed in the medical record, as this could increase legal liability and compromise confidentiality. C. Obtain personal professional liability insurance coverage: Having individual liability coverage provides additional protection beyond employer coverage, ensuring legal and financial support if malpractice claims arise. D. Overestimate clients' acuity to prevent short staffing: Falsifying acuity levels is unethical and can result in disciplinary action or loss of license; staffing concerns should be addressed through proper administrative channels.
