Who can create an advance directive?

Choice A rationale
Providing the instructions in an audio format is a suitable solution for clients who are unable to read. It ensures they can understand and follow the medication instructions accurately.
Choice B rationale
Ensuring the client has someone to assist with reading the instructions is helpful but not always reliable. The client may not always have someone available to assist them.
Choice C rationale
Using larger print for the instructions can help, but it may not be sufficient for clients with severe visual impairments.
Choice D rationale
Teaching the client to use a magnifying glass is a practical solution, but it may not be as effective as providing audio instructions, especially if the client has difficulty using the magnifying glass.

Choice A rationale
Placing all beds in the high position increases the risk of injury if a patient falls out of bed. It is generally recommended to keep beds in the lowest position to minimize the distance a patient would fall, thereby reducing the risk of injury.

Choice B rationale
Using color-coded wristbands is an effective way to quickly communicate a patient’s fall risk status to all healthcare providers. This visual cue helps ensure that all staff members are aware of the patient’s fall risk and can take appropriate precautions.
Choice C rationale
Conducting frequent rounds of patient rooms allows healthcare providers to regularly check on patients, address their needs, and identify any potential fall hazards. This proactive approach helps in preventing falls by ensuring that patients are safe and their environment is free of obstacles.
Choice D rationale
Providing non-skid socks helps prevent slips and falls by giving patients better traction when walking. These socks are especially useful for patients who may be unsteady on their feet or are at a higher risk of falling.
