25 PARTNER Question Prompt List Questions About My Loved One It s normal for families to have questions about what is happening with their loved one s illness and treatment. Please check the questions that you would like the doctor or ICU team to answer. Disease Information What is wrong with my loved one? What treatments is my loved one receiving? Prognosis What happens to most people with the kind of illness my loved one has? My Loved One s Values How can I make sure the doctors know about my loved one s values and treatment preferences? What should my role be in making treatment decisions? Options What are the different treatment options that we should be thinking about? Milestones How can we tell if my loved one is getting better or worse? Social How do people cope with having a loved one in the ICU? How do most people discuss the stress of having someone in the ICU with their family and friends? Who can provide information about insurance and financial issues? Is there a chaplain or other spiritual support available in the hospital? What should I do if I get conflicting information from the different doctors? Please write any other questions you have for the care team: Prompt list Questions the Doctor May Ask You: Have you ever made decisions for a loved one who was too sick to make decisions? What was your loved one like before this hospitalization. What does he or she do/enjoy? Has your loved one ever talked about treatment preferences and values if he or she were very sick? What role would you like to play in major medical decisions for your loved one?
