Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An advanced medical directive is a legal document that specifies what actions should be taken for a person's health if they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves due to illness or incapacity. It would have allowed Kitty McBills to outline her wishes regarding medical treatment and care in the event she became unable to communicate them herself.
