Advanced Directives
The law requires that patients are given enough information to make an informed choice about giving or refusing permission (consent) for medical care and treatment. By law, an adult has the right to agree to or refuse treatment, and has a right to be informed of the possible medical outcomes of refusing care or treatment.
Permission is not required to provide emergency care to an adult who is unconscious or unable to communicate and is suffering from an injury or illness that could result in immediate death. Problems sometimes happen when an adult needs medical treatment in a non-emergency situation but is unable to give permission or tell the doctor his or her desire for medical care.
When adults are unable to decide or communicate their wishes about their medical care, rights, values and beliefs may be at risk. For this reason, a growing number of people are using advance directives to explain their medical care wishes in writing.
