Client wants to appoint a health care proxy
Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a medical-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 response is B: A health care proxy can make decisions for you when you are unable to do so. This is the correct answer because a health care proxy is an individual chosen by a person to make medical decisions on their behalf in case they become unable to do so. It is important to appoint a health care proxy before any unforeseen circumstances arise.
Choice A is incorrect because the client is not obligated to choose a family member as their health care proxy; they can choose anyone they trust.
Choice C is incorrect as the timing of appointing a health care proxy is not necessarily linked to undergoing invasive procedures.
Choice D is incorrect as legal approval by an attorney is not required to appoint a health care proxy.
