Abstract | Examines whether elderly individuals issuing advance directives for health care were more likely to have their wishes understood by designated surrogates than elderly folks who had not given such a directive. The mere completion of a directive did not guarantee the decision maker's awareness of the older person's wishes. (RJM) |
