question 3 of 3
select the best answer. a healthcare provider is admitting a person. during the admission, what is required to be done?
give the person written information on their rights and policies about advance directives.
tell the person they need a dnr order.
ask the treating provider to sign the advance directive if the person has one.
make the person complete an advance directive.

Explanation:

When admitting a patient, the standard practice is to inform them of their rights and policies regarding advance directives (legal documents about medical preferences). Telling them they need a DNR is not general admission practice, asking the provider to sign or making the person complete one is incorrect as advance directives are personal decisions and not mandatory to create during admission. So the correct action is to give written info on rights and policies about advance directives.

Answer:

A. Give the person written information on their rights and policies about advance directives.
