NCLEX-RN

Answer: B - According to the client’s wishes, the nurse can help the client draw up a durable power of attorney for health care. This is a type of advanced directive that allows another person, legally identified by the client, to act or to make health care decisions on the client’s behalf. Another type of advanced directive is the living will, where the client documents their wishes in the event that they are incapable of making health care decisions. The living will is restrictive since it is usually not honored unless the client is terminally ill.
