    A nurse is teaching a client about advance directives. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Advance directives do not address inheritance or distribution of possessions; those are covered by a will. B. Advance directives designate a health care proxy or outline specific wishes, not the provider, to make decisions on behalf of the client. C. Witness requirements for signing a living will vary by state, but typically, a neutral party (not a partner or family member) serves as a witness. D. A living will is a type of advance directive that outlines the client’s preferences for medical care in the event they become unable to communicate their decisions.
