Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a medica-surgical unit is caring for a client who asks about advance directives and states that he wants to appoint a health care proxy. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: A health care proxy can make decisions for you when you are unable to do so. This is the correct response because a health care proxy is a person chosen by an individual to make medical decisions on their behalf in the event that they are unable to do so themselves. It is important for the nurse to explain this to the client as it ensures that their wishes will be respected and followed in case of incapacitation.
Choice A is incorrect because the client is not required to choose a family member as their health care proxy; they can choose anyone they trust.
Choice C is incorrect because appointing a health care proxy is not necessarily tied to undergoing a specific procedure.
Choice D is incorrect because it is not necessary for an attorney to approve the appointment of a health care proxy.
