An older adult male who is in his early 70's is admitted to the emergency department because of a COPD exacerbation. The client is struggling to breathe and the healthcare team is preparing for endotracheal intubation. The spouse's wile, who is 30 years younger than the client, asks the nurse to stop the procedure and provides the nurse a copy of the client's living will. Which action should the nurse take?

A. While the nursing staff should be aware of the DNR status, the immediate concern is the client's expressed wishes regarding treatment. B. Notifying the healthcare provider is essential so that the medical team can respect the client’s wishes, especially in an acute situation where life-saving measures are being discussed. C. Placing a certified copy of the living will in the record is important, but it should be done after informing the healthcare provider. D. Facilitating a family meeting may be helpful, but the priority is to communicate the client's wishes to the medical team immediately.
