The role of the advocate includes speaking for the patient when she is unable to do so herself and ensuring that the patient's questions are answered in a thorough way that she can understand.The nurse helping a patient formulate and voice questions is the best demonstration of the advocate role.Documenting preferences is a good start,but is not comprehensive enough to encompass the role.Teaching is also part of the advocate process,but does not constitute speaking for the patient or helping her to do so.
