Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Advance directives are legal documents that provide instructions for medical treatment in case of incapacitation or inability to communicate one's wishes. They may include a living will, healthcare proxy, or do not resuscitate order. Last wishes, final instructions, and last wills do not necessarily pertain to medical treatment and may focus on burial arrangements and distribution of assets.
