The nurse has been explaining advance directives to a patient. Which response by the patient would indicate that he has correctly understood the information? An advance directive is a document:
 
  1) Specifying your health care intentions should you become unable to make self-directed decisions.
  2) Identifying the activities considered to be evidence of quality care.
  3) Verifying your understanding of the risks and benefits associated with a procedure.
  4) Allowing you the autonomy to leave the hospital when you decide, even if it is against medical advice.
