A nurse is providing teaching about advance directives to a middle adult client. Which of the following client responses indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "I can designate my partner as my health care surrogate." This response indicates understanding because a health care surrogate is someone designated to make medical decisions on behalf of the client if they are unable to do so. It shows the client recognizes the importance of choosing someone they trust to advocate for their wishes.
Explanation for incorrect choices:
B: "I am only 40 years old, so I don't need to worry about this yet." - Incorrect because advance directives are important for all adults regardless of age.
C: "I will need a lawyer's help to draw up the documents." - Incorrect because while legal advice can be helpful, it is not always necessary to designate a health care surrogate.
D: "I understand that my family can alter my advance directives if I become incapacitated." - Incorrect because advance directives are legally binding documents that outline the client's wishes and should not be altered by anyone other than the client themselves.
