Practice Questions
1. You are caring for a client at the end of life. The client tells you that they are grateful for having
considered and decided upon some end of life decisions and the appointments of those who they wish
to make decisions for them when they are no longer able to do so. During this discussion with the
client and the client’s wife, the client states that “my wife and I are legally married so I am so glad
that she can automatically make all healthcare decisions on my behalf without a legal durable power
of attorney when I am no longer able to do so myself” and the wife responds to this statement with,
“that is not completely true. I can only make decisions for you and on your behalf when these
decisions are not already documented on your advance directive.” How should you, as the nurse,
respond to and address this conversation between the husband and wife and the end of life?
A. You should respond to the couple by stating that only unanticipated treatments and
procedures that are not included in the advance directive can be made by the legally
appointed durable power of attorney for healthcare decisions.
B. You should be aware of the fact that the wife of the client has a knowledge deficit relating to
advance directives and durable powers of attorney for healthcare decisions and plan an
educational activity to meet this learning need.
C. You should be aware of the fact that the client has a knowledge deficit relating to advance
directives and durable powers of attorney for healthcare decisions and plan an educational
activity to meet this learning need.
D. You should reinforce the wife’s belief that legally married spouses automatically serve for the
other spouse’s durable power of attorney for health care decisions and that others than the
spouse cannot be legally appointed while people are married
Correct Response: A
