Will my Advance Directive always be followed?

No. When deciding whether or not to follow your advance directive, your clinician will consider five questions:

• Were you competent to make the decision when you made the advance directive?
• Did you make the decision of your own free will?
• Were you sufficiently informed to make the decision?
• Did you intend your directive to apply to the present circumstances, which may be different from those anticipated?
• Is the advance directive out of date?
