The Admissions Department at a Local Hospital Is Registering an Elderly

The admissions department at a local hospital is registering an elderly man for an outpatient diagnostic test. The admissions nurse asks the man if he has an advanced directive. The man responds that he does not want to complete an advance directive because he does not want anyone controlling his finances. What would be appropriate information for the nurse to share with this patient?

A) Advance directives are not legal documents, so you have nothing to worry about.
B) Advance directives are limited only to health care instructions and directives.
C) Your finances cannot be managed without an advance directive.
D) Advance directives are implemented when you become incapacitated, and then you will use a living will to allow the state to manage your money.
