An older adult man who manages all his personal affairs is admitted to a long-term care facility because of mobility problems related to rheumatoid arthritis. When the practical nurse (PN) presents the client with a blank advanced directives form, he explains that he is not dying and not cognitively impaired and informs he does not need to complete such a form. Which action is most important for the PN to take?

A. Explaining that the advanced directives form helps identify personal health care wishes for any future health event is crucial because it clarifies the importance of the form in planning for future health care decisions, even if the client is not currently ill. B. Acknowledging the client’s concerns and notifying the healthcare provider is less immediate and does not directly address the client's understanding of the advanced directives form. C. Asking a family member about the client's wishes is unnecessary since the client has communicated his own wishes and concerns, and the focus should be on informing the client about the form. D. Documenting the client’s refusal is important but secondary to educating the client on the purpose and importance of advanced directives.
