A nurse is teaching participants at a community center about advance directives. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

Rationale: A. A health care surrogate (also called a durable power of attorney for health care) is a person designated by the client to make health care decisions if the client becomes incapacitated. This is a key component of advance directives. B. Advance directives can be revised or revoked by the client at any time as long as they remain competent to do so. C. Legal counsel is not required to assign a surrogate, though the document typically needs to be witnessed and signed according to state regulations. D. A DNR order is optional and separate from other parts of an advance directive; clients may choose to include or exclude it.
