Designating someone with medical durable power of attorney grants that individual the authority to make healthcare decisions on behalf of the patient if they become incapacitated or are unable to make decisions for themselves. The correct answer is that it is to make healthcare decisions on the patient's behalf. Other choices such as transferring the right to consent for the patient's children's medical care or providing healthcare personnel with consent for all patients under their care are not functions of this legal document.
