Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term that specifically relates to documenting an individual's wishes regarding their health care in the event that they become incapacitated is an advance directive. States have enacted statutes that allow individuals to execute advance directives, which may include living wills, durable powers of attorney for health care, or other types of documents that outline the individual's preferences for medical treatment and end-of-life care. An annuity, contract, or insurance policy do not directly relate to health care decision-making.
