RN Comprehensive Online Practice 2019 B with NGN Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is admitting a client to the medical-surgical unit. The Patient Self-Determination Act requires the nurse to perform which of the following actions during the admission process?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Document in the client's medical record if the client has advance directives. This is required by the Patient Self-Determination Act to ensure the client's wishes regarding medical treatment are known and followed. By documenting advance directives in the medical record, healthcare providers can provide care in accordance with the client's preferences.


Choice A is incorrect because providing end-of-life education is not specifically mandated by the Patient Self-Determination Act during the admission process.


Choice C is incorrect because while informing the client about selecting a health care proxy is important, it is not a requirement under the Patient Self-Determination Act during the admission process.


Choice D is incorrect as there is no requirement under the Act for the nurse to ensure the client has an attorney for assistance with end-of-life documents.

In summary, choice B is correct as it directly aligns with the requirements of the Patient Self-Determination Act, while the other choices do not specifically address the Act's mandates during the admission process
