AAMA CMA Practice Question

During the admission process for elective surgery, a patient hands you a document that specifies their desire not to be placed on life support in the event of a catastrophic complication. This document is properly signed and witnessed. How should the medical team proceed regarding this document?

  • Advise the patient that medical decisions are ultimately up to the surgical team and disregard the document.

  • Confirm that the document is a DNR and inform the surgical team accordingly.

  • Record the patient's living will in their medical record and ensure the surgical team is aware of its existence.

  • File the document without notifying medical staff as it only applies to post-operative care.
