Assignment:
Directives are documents which should be prepared BEFORE a person is cognitively impaired or unable to communicate such decisions.The Matrix Assignment examined documents used to maintain and protect the rights of adults and older adults although age has no factor on when one should prepare such documents. Now, how do you fit with all of this? Get ready to consider your own living will whether you are 21 or 61. To get started, think about and jot down a quick draft of what you wish to convey in your own Living Will. Consider your own personal, conceptual, or moral perspective on this issue. Death is equally a part of life just as birth is - however, far fewer people prepare for the end-of-life.Clearly state your own decisions regarding the following in 150-200 words to your selected designee (Spouse, Parent, Sibling, etc.).
Your Designee
DNR
Life Support
Tube Feeding
Ventilator
Organ Donation
Lastly, consider what is important to you if you are unable to communicate to your loved ones (e.g. quality of life, visitors, location of burial, cremation, type of funeral service preferred )
