A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who needs to increase vitamin C intake to promote wound healing. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend as the best source of vitamin C?

Choice A reason: You do not need to have advance directives in place in order to refuse recommended treatment. Advance directives are legal documents that allow you to express your wishes for your health care in case you are unable to communicate or make decisions for yourself. You have the right to accept or refuse any treatment at any time, as long as you are competent and informed.

Choice B reason: An attorney is not needed in order for you to name a designee in your health care proxy. A health care proxy is a type of advance directive that allows you to appoint a person to make health care decisions for you if you are unable to do so. You can choose anyone you trust, such as a family member or a friend, as your designee. You do not need a lawyer to complete a health care proxy form, but you need to sign it in front of two witnesses.

Choice C reason: You can decline to have certain medical procedures performed in your living will. A living will is another type of advance directive that allows you to state your preferences for life-sustaining treatments, such as CPR, artificial ventilation, or feeding tubes. You can specify which treatments you want or do not want, and under what circumstances. You can also include your values and beliefs about your quality of life and end-of-life care.

Choice D reason: A living will cannot be an oral statement that you agree upon with your provider. A living will must be a written document that is signed by you and witnessed by two people. An oral statement may not be legally valid or enforceable, and it may not reflect your current wishes. You should review and update your living will periodically, and share it with your provider, your designee, and your family.

Choice 1 reason: This is the first step because cleaning the urinary meatus reduces the risk of infection and contamination.

Choice 2 reason: This is the second step because separating the labia exposes the urethral meatus and facilitates the insertion of the catheter.

Choice 3 reason: This is the third step because inserting the catheter into the urethral meatus allows the urine to drain into the collection bag.

Choice 4 reason: This is the fourth step because inflating the catheter balloon secures the catheter in place and prevents it from slipping out.

Choice 5 reason: This is the fifth step because securing the catheter to the client's thigh prevents tension and traction on the catheter and the bladder.
