This article offers a history of AHCDs, explores one method for assessing AHCD knowledge using the Knowledge-Attitudinal-Experimental Survey on Advance Directives (KAESAD), and utilizes adult learning theory to develop an AHCD educational in-service for nurses. AHCD information and resources are provided.
