Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

B
Advance directives are written instructions for health care that concerns provision of care when individuals are incapacitated; they are recognized under state law. The client, while in good health, indicates his or her preferences for use of life-sustaining measures to be observed when he or she becomes incompetent. The focus of advance directives is on client self-determination.
