What Are Advance Directives?
Advance directives are legal documents that outline your medical preferences when you’re unable to speak for yourself. These include:
- Living Will
Specifies the medical treatments you want—or do not want—if you’re terminally ill or permanently unconscious. - Medical Power of Attorney
Designates someone you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf when you cannot. - Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order
Directs healthcare providers not to perform CPR if your heart stops or you stop breathing.
