8 Notice to Person Making this Document Ogeysiiska la siiyo Qofka Sameeyo Warqadaan. You have the right to make decisions about your health care. No health care may be given to you over your objection, and necessary health care may not be stopped or withheld if you object. Waxaad xaq u leedahay in aad gaartid go aano ku saabsan daryeelka caafimaadkaada. Laguma siin karo daryeelka caafimaadka haddii aad diidid, mana la joojin doono ama lagaama ceshan karo daryeelka caafimaadka loo baahan yahay haddii aad diidid. Because your health care providers in some cases may not have had the opportunity to establish a long-term relationship with you, they are often unfamiliar with your beliefs and values and the details of your family relationships. This poses a problem if you become physically or mentally unable to make decisions about your health care. Bacdamaa ay dhici karto mararka qaar in bixiyeyaashaada daryeelka caafimaadka aysan fursad u helin in ay kula yeeshaan xariir muddo dheer, badanaa aqoon uma laha waxa aad aaminsan tahay iyo waxa aad qiimeysid iyo tafaasiisha xariirka ka dhexeeyo qoyskaada. Tani waxay dhallisaa dhibaato haddii aadan jir ahaan ama maskax ahaan awood u yeelanin in aad gaartid go aanada ku saabsan daryeelkaada caafimaadka. In order to avoid this problem, you may sign this legal document to specify the person whom you want to make health care decisions for you if you are unable to make those decisions personally. That person is known as your health care agent. You should take some time to discuss your thoughts and beliefs about medical treatment with the person or persons whom you have specified. You may state in this document any types of health care that you do or do not desire, and you may limit the authority of your health care agent. If your health care agent is unaware of your desires with respect to a particular health care decision, he or she is required to determine what would be in your best interests in making the decision. Si leysaga ilaaliyo dhibaatadaan, waxaad saxiixi kartaa warqadaan sharciyeysan si aad u sheegtid qofka aad rabtid in uu kuu gaaro go aanada daryeelka caafimaadka haddii aadan awoodin in aad qof ahaan gaartid go aanadaan. Qofkaas waxaa loo yaqaan in uu yahay wakiilkaaga daryeelka caafimaadka. Waa in aad qaadatid xoogaa waqti aad fikradahaada iyo waxa aad aaminsan tahay ee ku saabsan daweynta caafimaadka kala hadashid qofka ama dadka aad tilmaantay. Waxaad warqadaan ku sheegi kartaa noocyada daryeelka caafimaadka aad adiga rabtid ama aadan rabin, kaddibna waxaad xad u yeeli kartaa awoodda wakiilkaada daryeelka caafimaadka. Haddii wakiilkaada daryeelka caafimaadka uusan la soconin waxa aad rabtid xagga go aan gaar ah oo la xariira daryeelka caafimaadka, isaga ama iyada waxaa laga rabaa in uu ogaado maslaxadaada ugu wanaagsan marka uu gaaro go aanka. 2 of

17 Part 3: Statement of desires, care instructions or limits Qeybta 3aad: Oraahda waxyaabaha la rabo, tilmaamaha daryeelka ama xuduudda Part 3 allows you to make your preferences clear. Your health care agent and your doctors will refer to this section as they care for you. If you did not name a health care agent or if your health care agent cannot be reached, you can direct your care with the choices you make below. You should talk with your health care agent about the kind of care you want, even if you don t make choices in this section. Qeybta 3aad waxay kuu ogoshahay in aad caddeysid waxyaabaha aad rabtid. Wakiilkaada daryeelka caafimaadka iyo takhaatiirtaada waxay tixraaci doonaan qeybtaan inta ay ku hawlan yahiin daryeelkaada. Haddii aadan magacaabin wakiilka daryeelka caafimaadka ama haddii aan lala xariiri karin wakiilka daryeelka caafimaadka, waxaad daryeelkaada ku maamuli kartaa waxyaabaha aad dooratid ee ku qoran hoos. Waa in aad wakiilkaada daryeelka caafimaadka kala hadashid nooca daryeelka aad rabtid, xattaa haddii aadan waxba xullanin qeybtaan. You are not required to complete this part of the document. Lagaama rabo in aad buuxisid qeybtaan warqadda. To complete this part: Si aad u dhamaystirtid qeybtaan: Initial or check the box beside the one statement you agree with. Ku qor xarfaha hore magaca ama calaamee sanduuqa ku dhinac yaal halka oraah aad waafaqsan tahay. You may add other specific care instructions on page 14. Waxaad ku dari kartaa tilmaamo kale oo ku saabsan daryeelka kuna qoran bogga 14aad. 11 of

18 1. Treatments that may prolong life if I am in this situation. Dawooyinka laga yaabo in ay dheereyaan nolosha haddii aan ku sii jiro xaaladaan. If I am sick or injured and my doctors believe there is little chance I will recover the ability to know who I am, who my family and friends are, or where I am, this is my choice: Haddii aan xanuunsanahay ama dhaawac i soo gaaro iyo takhaatiirteyda aaminsan yahiin in ay jirto fursad yar in aan soo ceshto awoodda aan u leeyahay in aan ogaado qofka aan ahay, dadka ay yahiin qoyskeyga iyo asxaabteyda, tani waa wax aan aniga doortay. I want to refuse or stop all treatments. Some examples are a machine that breathes for me (respirator/ventilator), feeding tubes, blood products, antibiotics, or fluids given to me through an IV, treatments for chronic medical conditions, or other medications. Aniga waxaan rabaa in aan diido ama in aan joojiyo dhamaan daweynta. Tusaalooyinka qaar waa mashiin ii neefsada aniga (neefsade/marwaxad), tubooyinka quudinta, maadooyinka dhiigga, antibiyootiko, ama dareeraha leygu siiyo IV, daweynta xaaladaha caafimaadka soo noqnoqda, ama dawooyin kale I want to receive all treatments to keep me alive, unless my doctor determines the treatments would harm me more than help me. Aniga waxaan rabaa in ley siiyo dhamaan daweynta si aan u sii noolaado, haddii takhtarkeyga uusan go aan ku gaarin in daweynta ii keeni doonto waxyeelo ka badan kaalmada aan ka heli doono. With either choice, I understand I will be kept clean and comfortable. I will continue to receive pain and comfort medicines, and food and fluids by mouth if I can swallow safely. Mid kasta aan doorto, Aniga waxaan fahamsanahay in laga shaqeyn doono nadaafadeyda iyo raaxadeyda. Waxaan ku sii socon doonaa in aan afka ka qaato dawooyinka xanuunka iyo fiyoobida, iyo raashin iyo dareere haddii aan si ammaan ah u liqi karo. 12 of

19 2. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Dib u kicinta wadnaha-sambabaha (CPR). Based on my current health, this is my choice about CPR if my heart or breathing stops. Sida ku saleysan caafimaadkaada iminka, tani waa waxa aan doortay oo ku saabsan CPR haddii wadnaheyga ama neefteyda joogsato. I want CPR attempted unless my doctor determines: Aniga waxaan rabaa in leyskudayo CPR haddii takhtarkeyga uu sidaas soo jeediyo. I have a medical condition and no reasonable chance of survival with CPR, Aniga waxaan qabaa xaalad caafimaad mana jirto fursad macquul ah in aan ku noolaan doono CPR, OR AMA CPR would harm me more than help me. CPR waxay i gaarsiin doontaa dhibaato ka badan kaalmada aan ka helo. I do not want CPR. Let me die a natural death. Aniga ma rabo CPR. Aan u dhinto si caadi ah. If you do not want emergency personnel to give you CPR, you will need to talk to your doctor about other documents you need. Haddii aadan rabin in shaqaalaha degdegga ku siyaan CPR, waxaad u baahan tahay in aad takhtarkaada kala hadashid warqadaha kale aad u baahan tahay. 13 of

20 Specific care instructions to meet my goals and preferences in certain situations: Tilmaahmaha daryeelka gaarka ah si loola kulmo ujeedooyinka iyo waxyaabaha aan jeclahay xaaladaha qaar: Comfort preferences: These things are important to me for comfort (for example, favorite music, warm blankets, best positioning in bed). Roonaanta aan Jeclahay: Waxyaabahaan waxay ii yahiin muhiim si aan u helo fiyoobi (tusaale, muusikada aan jeclahay, busto diiran, qaabka ugu wanaagsan sariirta). 14 of

21 Including others when making decisions about my care: (If there is time, try to include these people in my care decisions.) Ku darista dadka kale marka aan go aan ka gaaro daryeelkeyga: (Haddii uu jiro waqti, iskuday in aad ku dartid dadkaan ku lugta leh go aanada daryeelkeyga.) If I am near death and cannot communicate, I want to give my friends and family these personal messages: Haddii aan ku dhawahay dhimasho oo aan awood u lahayn in aan sheego, Aniga waxaan rabaa in asxaabteyda iyo qoyskeyga siiyo fariimahaan shakhsiga: If I am near death, things I would want: (For example, favorite music, rituals, dim lighting, a visit from the hospital chaplain or someone from my faith community.) Haddii aan ku dhawaado dhimasho, waxyaabaha aan rabo: (Tusaale ahaan, muusikada la jecel yahay, hiddaha, iftiinka yar, booqashada wadaadka isbitaalka ama qof ka socda caqiidada bulshadeyda.) 15 of

22 To complete this part: Si aad u dhamaystirtid qeybtaan: Initial or check the box beside the statement you agree with. Ku qor xarfaha hore magacaada ama calaamee sanduuqa ku dhinac yaal oraahda aad waafaqsan tahay. After my death, these are some of my preferences: Kaddib marka aan dhinto, waa kuwaan qaar ka mid ah waxyaabaha aan jeclahay: 1. Donation of my organs or tissue (anatomical gifts) Deeqidda xubnaheyga ama hilibkeyga (deeqda jirka) Examples of organs are kidney, liver, heart, and lungs. Examples of tissue are eyes, skin, bones, and heart valves. Tusaalooyinka la xariira xubnaha waa kilyaha, beerka, wadnaha, iyo sambabaha. Tusaalooyinka hilibka waa indhaha, maqaarka, lafaha, iyo albaabada wadnaha.. A. I do not wish to donate any part of my body. Aniga ma rabi in aan deeq ahaan u bixiyo qeyb ka mid ah jirkeyga. B. After I die, I wish to donate any parts of my body that may help others.* Kaddib marka aan dhinto, Aniga waxaan rabaa in aan deeq ahaan u bixiyo qeybo ka mid ah jirkeyga oo laga yaabo in ay kaalmo u yahiin dad kale.* C. After I die, I wish to donate only these organs and tissue:* Kaddib marka aan dhinto, Aniga waxaan rabaa in aan deeq ahaan u bixiyo oo keliya xubnahaan iyo hilibkaan:* *If you checked B or C, register in your state at to make your preferences legal. *Haddii aad calaameysay sanduuq B ama C, iska diiwaan geli bogga internetka gobolkaada si aad u sharciyeysid waxa aad jeceshahay. 16 of

23 2. Autopsy preference Xulashada baaritaanka sababta ka dambeyso dhimashada Initial or check one box OR both B and C. Ku qor xarfaha magacaada ama calaamee hal sanduuq AMA labadaba B iyo C. A. I do not wish to have an autopsy. Aniga ma rabo in la sameeyo baaritaanka sababta ka dambeyso dhimashadeyda (autopsy). B. I would accept an autopsy if it can help my relatives and/or loved ones understand the cause of my death or if the findings may help them make their own health care choices. Aniga waxaan dooran doonaa in la baaro sababta ka dambeyso dhimashadeyda haddii ay kaalmo u tahay qaraabadeyda iyo/ama kuwa aan jeclahay si ay u fahmaan sababta dhimashadeyda ama haddii natiijadaha ku kaalmeyn karaan iyaga in ay doortaan daryeelka caafimaadkooda. C. I would accept an autopsy if it can help advance medical knowledge or medical education. Waxaan ogolahay in la sameeyo baaritaanka sababta ka dambeyso dhimashadeyda haddii ay kaalmo ka geysan karto horumarinta aqoonta caafimaadka ama barashada caafimaadka. 17 of
