Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As a healthcare professional, it is not appropriate to assist a resident in making out their will. Refusing the request but explaining why is the best course of action. It is then important to notify the nursing staff so that appropriate measures can be taken to assist the resident, such as connecting them with legal resources. It is unethical to find out if you will be named in the will or to personally call a lawyer for the resident.
