Answer to Question 1

An advanced directive is a signed legal document in which the patient identifies his or her wishes to be followed if the patient becomes incapacitated.

Answer to Question 2

Type O blood can be given to all patients because there are no antigens to cause a reaction with the patient's blood type.
