What Are Advance Directives?
Advance directives are legal documents that communicate your healthcare preferences if you’re ever unable to make decisions for yourself. These documents include:
- Living Will
Specifies the types of medical treatments you want or don’t want if you are terminally ill or permanently unconscious. - Medical Power of Attorney
Appoints a trusted individual to make healthcare decisions on your behalf when you’re unable to communicate. - Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order
A DNR instructs medical personnel not to perform CPR if your heart stops or if you stop breathing. This can be part of your advance directives or a separate document from your doctor.
Why Advance Directives Are Essential
- ✔️ Maintain Control Over Your Care
Ensure your medical care aligns with your values, even when you can’t speak for yourself. - ✔️ Ease Family Stress
