Step-by-step explanation:
An advance directive is a legal document that specifies what actions should be taken for a person's health if they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves because of illness or incapacity.
Among the choices offered, the correct client response indicating an understanding of the teaching is A) "I can designate my partner as my health care surrogate."
This statement shows their appreciation of the capacity of advance directives to designate a person (a health care surrogate), who will make healthcare decisions when they can't. The client recognizes they can designate their partner as their healthcare surrogate.
The other choices B, C, and D indicate a lack of understanding. Age is irrelevant (B), a lawyer is not necessary to draw up the documents (C), and even if you have no family, you might still want someone to make decisions for you (D).
