Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An advance directive is a legal document that outlines a person's wishes for medical treatment and care in the event they become unable to communicate or make decisions for themselves. In the given scenario, the 91-year-old great-aunt has had conversations about her end-of-life wishes, indicating she likely created an advance directive to ensure her wishes are honored. A will and trust fund relate to a person's finances after their death and a doctor-patient agreement is not a legal document outlining end-of-life care wishes.
