The nurse reminds a resident in a long-term care facility that he has autonomy in many aspects of his institutionalization. One example is:

2. availability of his own small electrical appliances.

4. application of advance directives.

The application of advance directives is an autonomous decision. Agency protocols relative to medication times, access to private electrical devices, and smoking are rarely waived.
