Hello! I can help you match the advance directives to their descriptions:
1. Living will
- Description: A legal document that allows healthy people to declare their wishes and decisions for end-of-life care while they are of sound mind.
2. Medical power of attorney
- Description: A legal document that appoints someone to make healthcare decisions if the person is unable to do so.
3. Do not resuscitate (DNR)
- Description: A legal order that prevents the initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the event the client's heart or breathing stops.
By matching each directive to its description, individuals can ensure that their healthcare wishes are respected and followed, especially in situations where they may not be able to communicate their preferences.
