1 Step 1: Choose your health care representative. Name someone you trust to make health care choices for you if you are unable to make your own decisions. Think about the people in your life your family and friends. Select someone to be your health care representative. Ask that person if he or she is willing to do this for you. Choose a family member or friend who: Is 18 or older and knows you well Is willing to do this for you Is able to make difficult decisions based on your wishes Will effectively communicate the information you provide in this packet to health care providers and family members Your health care representative can: Decide where you will receive care Select or dismiss health care providers Say yes/no to medications, tests, treatments Say what happens to your body and organs after you die Take legal action needed to carry out your wishes Your representative cannot be your doctor or someone who works at the hospital or clinic where you are receiving care unless he or she is a member of your family. Name your health care representative. 1) I want this person to make my medical decisions if I cannot make my own: First name Last name Relationship Home/Cell phone Work phone Street address City State ZIP code If the first person cannot make my medical decisions, then I want this other person: First name Last name Relationship Home/Cell phone Work phone Street address City State ZIP code 2) Put an X next to the sentence you agree with: My health care representative will make decisions for me only after I become unable to make my own decisions. OR My health care representative can make decisions for me right now after I sign this form. PAGE 1
2 Step 2: Make your health care choices. What makes your life worth living? 1) My life is (choose A or B): A) Always worth living no matter how sick I am B) Only worth living if (check all that are true for you): I can talk with family and friends I can wake up from a coma I can feed, bathe or take care of myself I can be free from pain I can live without being hooked up to machines I am not sure 2) If I am dying, it is important for me to be (choose one): At home In a hospital or other care center It is not important to me where I am cared for Religion or spiritual beliefs 1) Is religion or spirituality important to you? Yes No 2) Do you have a religion or faith tradition? If so, what is it? 3) What should your doctors know about your religious or spiritual beliefs? PAGE 2
3 Step 2: Make your health care choices, continued. Life support Life-support procedures may be used to try to keep you alive. They include: CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation This may involve: Pressing hard on your chest to keep your blood pumping Electrical shocks to jump-start your heart Medicines in your veins Breathing machine or ventilator This machine pumps air into your lungs and breathes for you through a tube placed in your throat. You are not able to talk or eat when you are on the machine. Dialysis This machine cleans your blood if your kidneys stop working. Feeding tube This tube provides food to your body if you cannot swallow. The tube is placed down your throat into your stomach. It can also be placed surgically. Blood transfusion This will put blood in your veins. Surgery and/or medicines Put an X next to the one statement you most agree with. If I am so sick that I may die soon: Try all life-support treatments that my doctors think might help. If the treatments do not work and there is little hope of getting better, I want to stay on life-support machines even if I am suffering. Try all life-support treatments that my doctors think might help. If the treatments do not work and there is little hope of getting better, I do NOT want to stay on life-support machines. If I am suffering, I want life-support treatments to stop so that I can be allowed to die gently. I do NOT want life-support treatments. I want to focus on my comfort. I prefer to have a natural death. I want my health care representative to decide. I am not sure what I would like done. PAGE 3
4 Step 2: Make your health care choices, continued. Donating your organs Your doctors may ask about organ donation and an autopsy after you die. Donating your organs can help save lives. Put an X next to the one choice you most agree with. I want to donate my organs: Any organ, all that might be usable. Only certain organs (please specify which organs or tissues you wish to donate). I do not want to donate any of my organs. I want my health care representative to decide. I am not sure what I would like done. Autopsy An autopsy can be done after death to find out why someone died. It s a surgical procedure. It can take a few days. In some cases an autopsy may be required by law. Put an X next to the one choice you most agree with. I want an autopsy. I do not want an autopsy. I want an autopsy only if there are questions about the cause(s) of my death. I want my health care representative to decide. I am not sure what I would like done. PAGE 4
5 Step 2: Make your health care choices, continued. Other things to consider What other wishes are important to you after you die? For example, are there any cultural, religious, or spiritual things about how to treat your body that your health care team should know? Do you have someone who should be contacted for funeral or burial wishes? If yes, who? PAGE 5
6 Step 3: Outline your health care representative s authority. Your health care representative can help make the following decisions about: Life-support treatments - medical care to help you live longer: CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation Breathing machine or ventilator Dialysis Feeding Tube Blood Transfusion Surgery Medicines End-of-life care If you might die soon, your health care representative can: Call a spiritual leader Decide if you die at home or in the hospital Decide whether an autopsy will be performed Decide whether your organs may be donated Decide where you should be buried or cremated How do you want your health care representative to follow your medical wishes? Put an X next to the one sentence you most agree with: Total flexibility: It is OK for my health care representative to change any of my medical decisions if, after talking with my doctors, he/she thinks it is best for me at that time. Some flexibility: It is OK for my health care representative to change some of my medical decisions if, after talking with my doctors, he/she thinks it is best for me at that time. Minimal flexibility: I want my health care representative to follow my medical wishes as closely as possible. Please respect my decisions even if doctors recommend otherwise.
