Choices in Life-Threatening Illness Main Reason for discussing patient’s needs: Give the patient the power in dealing with the illness. Alternative methods of treatment should be discussed with patient as should pain management and various treatment methods.. A durable power of attorney for healthcare and/or a living will or physician’s directive. It is NOT appropriate to discuss planning for a funeral.
