It includes how to select a healthcare agent or proxy, specific questions to help you decide under what conditions you would not want life sustaining care, how to talk to your loved ones about your desires, a structured consideration of personal priorities and spiritual values, what to do after you’ve signed your directive, and a list of resources.
