A patient provides a legal document that names their spouse as the authorized person to make healthcare decisions on their behalf in case they become incapacitated. Which of the following documents does this describe?
Advance Directive
Informed Consent
Health Care Proxy
Living Will
A Health Care Proxy, also known as a medical power of attorney, is a legal document where a patient appoints a specific person (an agent or proxy) to make medical decisions for them if they are unable to do so. A Living Will is a document that specifies a patient's wishes about medical treatment, not who makes the decisions. An Advance Directive is a broad term for legal documents regarding future medical care, which includes both living wills and health care proxies. Informed Consent is the process of a provider informing a patient about a treatment before the patient agrees to it.
