required to allow her to make health care decisions for her parent. Which response would provide the
most accurate information to the daughter?

ANS: C
A durable power of attorney for health care transfers the authority for decision making to a designated
person. An advance directive specifies the type of care an individual desires when he cannot speak for
himself. The durable power of attorney is only one type of advance directive. A “Do Not Resuscitate”
document states that the patient wishes to die naturally with no intervention. A living will prohibits the
use of life-prolonging measures.
