A durable power of attorney for health care is a written document that designates a person to make health-care decisions on behalf of the patient in the event that the patient becomes incapacitated or is otherwise unable to make decisions. This is different from a living will, which outlines specific medical treatments that the patient does or does not want to receive. A health care plan is a general term for any plan that outlines a patient's medical care. A euthanasia directive is a document that outlines the patient's wishes for end-of-life care, including the decision to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment.
