5 True or False Quiz Answers More than 70% of Americans have not completed advance directives. Almost three out of four doctors whose patients had an advance directive didn’t know about it. The best place to keep your advance directive is in a place where someone can get to it at any time, not in a safe deposit box. Varies by state, so it’s important to check. Update your advance directives as your personal circumstances change.

6 Why Have an Advance Directive? Assures someone will speak for you who knows you and understands your wishes Helps family make difficult decisions, possibly helps alleviate their guilt or anxiety May help bring your family together at a difficult time Allows you to follow your personal and religious beliefs

7 What Can a Health Care Agent Do? Your agent: Can talk with your doctors about your changing medical condition and authorize treatment or have it withdrawn as circumstances change Can interpret your living will in situations that were not foreseen Can advocate for you

8 Who Should You Select as Your Health Care Agent? A family member or friend who you trust and can be there for you now and well into the future Someone comfortable talking with health care professionals Someone who can be assertive and get needed answers about your treatment Someone comfortable conversing about end-of-life care A person who will follow your wishes even if they are not similar to his/her own Someone who meets your state’s criteria

9 What to Discuss as an Agent or with Your Agent What aspects of your life give it the most meaning? How do your religious or spiritual beliefs impact your decisions? What is your attitude towards death? Would you prefer to die at home if possible? Do you have any fears about treatments? Are there certain treatments you would want or would refuse? Under what conditions? Would you consider treatments on a trial basis?
