Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Five Wishes is a document that addresses end-of-life care (A), identifies life-sustaining therapies (B), and determines other aspects of care (C). It acts as a form of advance directive, allowing individuals to specify their preferences for medical treatment, comfort, and how they wish to be treated as they approach the end of their life. It does not replace an advanced directive (D) but complements it by covering more personal, emotional, and spiritual wishes in addition to medical wishes. While it was first created in Florida, Five Wishes is recognized and used in many states across the U.S., not primarily in Florida (E).
