Patient Bill of Rights

Question 2 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

A healthcare agent has which of the following responsibilities?

Answer
A
provides medical advice for those unable to understand their choices
B
makes medical decisions for those unable to make their own choices
C
translates medical decisions from healthcare providers to patients

Explanation

A healthcare agent makes medical decisions on someone’s behalf when that person is unable to make their own choices. The agent does not simply translate what healthcare providers say or provide medical advice; those are different roles. Therefore, the correct choice is “makes medical decisions for those unable to make their own choices.”
