Which document communicates who should decide for you if you cannot, and outlines preferences? (The source mentions '5 Wishes' as an example.)

• A. Living Will
• B. Privacy Agreement
• C. Informed Consent
• D. 5 Wishes

Answer: (D)

This item is about advance directives that both name a person to make medical decisions for you if you can’t speak for yourself and spell out your care preferences. The 5 Wishes form is designed to do exactly that: it asks you to designate who should make healthcare decisions on your behalf and to describe your wishes about comfort, treatment options, and spiritual or emotional needs. That combination—a named decision-maker plus explicit preferences—is what sets 5 Wishes apart from more traditional documents.

A living will, by contrast, mainly focuses on the treatments you do or don’t want and may not specify who should decide for you. Informed consent relates to agreeing to a specific procedure or intervention, not to appointing a decision-maker or detailing broad preferences. A privacy agreement isn’t a standard document that communicates who should decide for you or outlines your care preferences. So 5 Wishes best matches the described purpose because it explicitly covers both appointing a decision-maker and outlining your care preferences in one accessible form.
