Question

Accepted Answer

### Question 1
# Brief Explanations:
Advance directives are written (not just verbal) statements of healthcare preferences. So the statement is false.
# Answer: F

### Question 2
# Brief Explanations:
Advance directives are used when a person cannot express themselves (e.g., due to incapacity) to guide healthcare decisions. So the statement is false.
# Answer: F

### Question 3
# Brief Explanations:
Residents can change their mind about an advance directive at any time if they are capable. So the statement is false.
# Answer: F

### Question 4
# Brief Explanations:
Living wills (about medical treatments) and healthcare power of attorney (appointing a decision - maker) are common components of an advance directive. So the statement is true.
# Answer: T

### Question 5
# Brief Explanations:
A living will and a DNR are different. A living will is a broader statement of medical preferences, and a DNR is a specific order. Having a living will does not require a DNR. So the statement is false.
# Answer: F

### Question 6
# Brief Explanations:
A living will may not be in the medical chart when needed (not readily available) and may lack specificity (not specific enough). Option c is incorrect as a living will doesn't translate to a doctor's order. So the correct option is d.
# Answer: d. both a and b,

### Question 7
# Brief Explanations:
A DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) means not performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, not "Do not treat" (treatment other than resuscitation can still occur). So the statement is false.
# Answer: F

### Question 8
# Brief Explanations:
A DNR is about not resuscitating. For a suspected hip fracture, we should provide appropriate medical care like assessing the resident, notifying the healthcare team, and providing comfort measures (since DNR doesn't prohibit other medical care for the hip fracture).
# Answer: First, assess the resident's condition (e.g., level of pain, ability to move). Then, notify the healthcare team (like the nurse or doctor) about the fall and suspected hip fracture. Provide comfort to the resident (e.g., positioning them carefully to avoid further injury) and follow the facility's protocols for handling falls and suspected fractures, while remembering that the DNR only applies to resuscitation efforts, not to care for the hip fracture.
