An advanced directive refers to:

  1. A document detailing a person's past medical history

  2. A document noting a person's desires for vacation plans

  3. A document noting a person's wishes regarding life-sustaining treatments

  4. A document outlining a person's favorite hobbies

The correct answer is: A document noting a person's wishes regarding life-sustaining treatments

An advanced directive is a legal document that allows an individual to specify their preferences for medical treatment, should they become unable to make decisions for themselves in the future. It outlines a person's wishes regarding life-sustaining treatments such as resuscitation, intubation, and artificial nutrition. This document helps healthcare providers and family members respect the individual's autonomy and make decisions in line with their preferences. The other options are incorrect because they do not relate to medical treatment preferences or decisions.
