Feedback:
A living will is a document that states a client's wishes regarding healthcare if he or she is terminally ill. It is not necessarily a legal consent. A client may designate another person to be the medical durable power of attorney or healthcare proxy. Do-not-resuscitate orders contain written medical orders for end-of-life instructions.
