Distinguish between a living will and a health care proxy
A living will is a written, legal document in which patients state the type of health care they do or do not want under certain circumstances. It informs the health care provider of a patient's desires regarding life-sustaining treatment. A health care proxy is a legal document in which a patient names someone to make decisions about health care in the event the patient becomes incapacitated.
