Answer to Question 1

Answer: Wishes that should be addressed include:
 Who should be allowed to make health care decisions for you when you can't make them yourself (naming a proxy through legal document).
 Specific instructions in regard to feeding and the medical treatment you want and don't want.
 How comfortable you want to be in regard to the administration of pain medication.
 Information that your loved ones need to know about your preferences for care.

To ensure these wishes are carried out, you should be specific; appoint an agent (durable power of attorney), discuss your wishes with your agent and your doctor, and distribute copies to pertinent individuals (such as agent, doctor, attorney, and family members).

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
