As the nurse admits a patient with AIDS who has cryptococcal meningitis, the patient tells the nurse, “If my heart or breathing stop, I do not want to be resuscitated.” The nurse should
a.   document the request in the patient’s record and place a DNR notation in the care plan.
b.   ask the patient if these wishes have been discussed with the admitting health care provider.
c.   inform the patient that a notarized advance directive must be included in the record or resuscitation must be performed.
d.   advise the patient to designate a person to make health care decisions when the patient is not able to make them independently.
