Answer 1

Option d

A living will is made by the person when they are conscious in order to imply the way in which they want to be treated if they are incapable to make decisions for themselves, such as being unconscious. It allows the health care team to determine what medical interventions are to be made if at all this happens.

Answer 2

a) that no attempt should be made to revive the person if they stop breathing.

A living will is a legal document that specifies an individual's wishes regarding medical treatment in the event they become incapacitated and unable to communicate their decisions. It typically addresses end-of-life medical interventions and may include instructions about resuscitation, life support, and other medical treatments. In option (a), the living will indicates that the person does not want any attempt to be made to revive them if they stop breathing or experience cardiac arrest. This decision is based on the person's desire to avoid unnecessary suffering or medical interventions that may not align with their values or beliefs.
