Question

If you were appointed Patient Advocate for a close relative (parent, sibling, spouse, child, etc.) would you be able to carry out their wishes, including a wish to end their life if...? Would age or disability make a difference in your ability to serve as their patient advocate?

Answer 1

This is an ambiguous question because you haven't specified what goes after the "if."

However, I've been patient advocate for my mother and my husband. I was able to carry out their do not resuscitate wishes with no ethical problems.

What is your answer.
