Topic: While the names and specific nature of these types of documents vary by state, their goal is to articulate for family and caregivers a patient's desires for the types of care they wish to be provided in the event that they become unable to articulate it for themselves. While some documents designate a proxy to make decisions on the patient's behalf (Durable Power of Attorney), others simply articulate their wishes regarding desired medical treatments. See also Self- Determination, Best Interests, Decision-Making Capacity and Durable Power of Attorney below.

Question: How would this individual's treatment plan be different had there been end-of-life planning documents available to refer to or if the patient had designated a durable power of attorney in writing?
