Which document helps guide emergency department care for a non-communicative patient by outlining preferences for specific medical interventions such as intubation or resuscitation?
Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order
Living will
Durable power of attorney for healthcare
Medical identification bracelet
A living will is a legal document in which a person states their wishes about life-prolonging medical treatments. It is specifically intended to guide care when the individual is incapacitated and unable to communicate their health care preferences. This document can help healthcare providers make decisions that align with the patient's wishes regarding certain medical interventions, including intubation or resuscitation, hence it is vital for nurses to correctly identify and interpret this document to provide care that is consistent with the patient's end-of-life preferences.
