Administrative & LegalCâu 98 / 100
A patient hands the front desk an advance directive naming a health care proxy. What should be done with the document?
a.Return it to the patient, since the office cannot accept legal documents
b.Scan or file a copy into the medical record and notify the provider that it is on file
c.Store it in the billing folder with the insurance card copy
d.Discard it after the visit, because it applies only in hospitals
Giải thích
An advance directive becomes part of the medical record so the patient's wishes and designated decision maker are available to the care team, and the provider should be told it is on file. Returning or discarding it defeats the purpose of documenting the patient's wishes. Filing it with billing paperwork hides it from the clinicians who would need it.
