    Area of Science:

    • Medical Law
    • Bioethics
    • Patient Rights

    Background:

    • Competent patients possess the right to self-determination regarding medical treatment.
    • Advance directives, whether oral or written, articulate a patient's wishes for future medical care.
    • Surrogates are appointed to make decisions for incapacitated patients.

    Observation:

    • A patient became incompetent after expressing specific oral and written wishes for medical treatment.
    • A surrogate sought to exercise the patient's right to self-determination.

    Findings:

    • Judicial approval is not a prerequisite for a surrogate to act on a patient's previously stated treatment preferences.
    • Surrogates must verify that specific conditions are satisfied before making decisions.
