    • Healthcare Administration

    Background:

    • Decisions for incompetent patients are stressful for surrogates.
    • Existing provisions like substituted judgment have limitations.
    • A need exists for clearer patient treatment preferences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the role and challenges of advance directives in patient care.
    • To outline how Catholic healthcare facilities can address concerns regarding advance directives.
    • To promote patient self-determination and dignity in medical decision-making.

    Main Methods:
