— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
預立醫療決定包含「生前遺囑(Living Will)」與「醫療授權代理人」。這是病人對於未來若無法表達意願時,預先作出的醫療決策。DNR 醫囑是醫師依據病況開立的醫令,雖反映病人意願,但其本身為醫療文件,非預立決定書。
An advance directive includes documents such as a living will, which allows a client to specify future healthcare preferences in case they become unable to communicate. While a DNR order reflects these wishes, it is a physician's medical order rather than the directive itself. Advance directives empower clients to maintain control over their medical treatment decisions.
