Which of the following statements are true about the ability for devices a and c to communicate?

An advance statement is a written statement that sets down your preferences, wishes, beliefs and values regarding your future care.

The aim is to provide a guide to anyone who might have to make decisions in your best interest if you have lost the ability to make or communicate decisions.

What does an advance statement cover?

An advance statement can cover any aspect of your future health or social care. This could include:

  • how you want any religious or spiritual beliefs to be reflected in your care
  • where you would like to be cared for, for example at home or in a hospital, a nursing home, or a hospice
  • how you like to do things, for example if you prefer a shower instead of a bath, or like to sleep with the light on
  • practical issues, for example who will look after your dog if you become ill

You can make sure people know about your wishes by talking about them.

By writing your advance statement down, you can help to make things clear to your family, carers and anybody involved in your care.

You can write it with support from relatives, carers, or health and social care professionals.

Is an advance statement the same as an advance decision?

No. An advance decision (also known as a living will, or advance decision to refuse treatment) is a decision you can make now to refuse specific treatments in the future.

An advance decision is legally binding, as long as it meets certain criteria.

Who makes an advance statement?

You write an advance statement yourself, as long as you have the mental capacity to make these statements.

Mental capacity is the ability to make decisions. Sometimes, people do not have mental capacity. This can be for a number of reasons, including illness.

Visit GOV.UK to find out about creating a lasting power of attorney, and the Mental Capacity Act.

Is an advance statement legally binding?

No, an advance statement is not legally binding, but anyone who's making decisions about your care must take it into account.

How does an advance statement help?

An advance statement lets everyone involved in your care know about your wishes, feelings and preferences if you're not able to tell them.

Does it need to be signed and witnessed?

You do not have to sign an advance statement, but your signature makes it clear that it is your wishes that have been written down.

Who should see it?

You have the final say in who sees it. Keep it somewhere safe, and tell people where it is, in case they need to find it in the future.

You can keep a copy in your medical notes.

Did you score above 70%? If not then go through the study material again and test your knowledge with TestPrep material.

Disclaimer: These questions are NOT appearing in the certification exam. I personally or CloudThat do not have any official tie-up with Microsoft regarding the certification or the kind of questions asked. These are my best guesses for the kind of questions to expect with Microsoft in general and with the examination.
