As a healthcare professional, it is not in your scope of practice to provide legal advice or draft legal documents such as a will. Refusing politely while explaining the reason is the appropriate action to take in this situation. It is important to inform the nurse about the resident's request so appropriate legal assistance can be provided. It is not appropriate to call a lawyer on the resident's behalf without their consent, and it is not ethical to find out if you will be named in the will.
