Assignment:
Create and Register Your Advanced Directives
You have read about legal issues in nursing practice. Informed consent is a frequent issue in health care. It is important for patients to have autonomy, control over their own body and choices. However, patients are not always able to speak for themselves. Any illness or accident that renders the patient unable to make decisions means someone else will need to make decisions for the patient. As a nurse, you will be asking patients if they have advanced directives, so you will know who to contact in case they are unable to make healthcare decisions. But if you were asked for your advanced directive, do you have one?
Unfortunately, many nurses and other healthcare providers dont have their own directives in place. Google how to create advanced directives in your state. Complete your advanced directives and upload a copy to the appropriate agency, in your state.
Reflective Journal– Advanced Directives
Write a reflection about the process of creating and registering your advanced directives. Consider some of the following:
What ethical values did you employ in making decisions about your end of life?
How did your worldview play into your decision making?
How did you decide who would be your medical power of attorney?
