Question 1

Your State's Advance Directive Law and Your Plan

This is a two-part discussion. Chapter 6 in your text outlines the Patient Self Determination Act (PDSA) of 1990, types of advance directive forms, and that AD laws and forms required, vary by state.

Using the internet, research the advance directive laws and forms required to be used in the state in which you live, identify your state and provide a summary of those laws, and copy and paste in the URL address(s) that support(s) the information in your Question.

I live in Nebraska so that is the state that will need to be researched.
