Nurses, by the nature of their practice, are in a unique position to help patients complete advance directives (ADs). This article focuses on an open-ended question that was part of a larger quantitative survey, "What do emergency nurses need to increase their ability to assist patients with ADs?" ⋯ Those nurses who saw assisting patients with ADs as their role were very clear about what they needed to be able to carry out the role (more time to spend with patients and more education related to ADs) and that they could not fulfill that role without the support of their institution's administration.
