What do I need to consider to answer the three specific questions on the Power of Attorney for Health Care form?
There are three specific questions on the form that are meant to help guide your agent in making decisions on the subject of: admission to a nursing home, provision of feeding tubes and decisions for pregnant women. The questions are only asking if you give your agent authority to make decisions in these areas. It does not ask if you want to go to a nursing home or have feeding tubes. The best answer is ‘yes’. Saying “Yes” to these questions empowers your agent, so he or she can make decisions about your care no matter what the circumstances, without having to apply to the court for guardianship.
