Advance Directives: Legal documents that specify the types of medical care a person wishes to receive or avoid. Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare: A legal document naming a healthcare proxy or surrogate decision-maker. Living Wills: Documents that express a person's wishes regarding life-sustaining treatment. Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Orders: Instructions to not perform CPR if a patient's heart stops.
