Question 1 of 5

A nurse is looking after an unconscious client with a living will. The client's family inquires if they can modify life-saving measures now that the client is unconscious. What should the nurse say in response?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: The living will states the client's wishes regarding life-saving measures. This is the most appropriate response because a living will is a legal document that outlines a person's preferences for medical treatment if they become unable to communicate their wishes. It serves as a guide for healthcare providers and family members in making decisions about the client's care. The living will is legally binding and must be followed, regardless of the client's current state of consciousness.


Choice A is incorrect because while the PSDA requires healthcare facilities to provide information about advance directives, it does not grant the family the right to modify life-saving measures.


Choice C is incorrect as the case manager does not have the authority to change the client's living will.


Choice D is incorrect because the durable power of attorney for health care can only make decisions on behalf of the client if the client is unable to do so themselves, but it cannot cancel the living will.


Therefore, the most appropriate response is to refer to the living
