The forms also generally make no attempt to place the person’s expression of wishes in the context of their current health condition, or to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment. Instead, they simply request that people express their future wishes about, for example, whether they want to be hospitalized and receive antibiotics, without grounding the application of that wish in likely hospitalizations relating to the patient’s present health condition. It has been pointed out that these level-of-care forms in particular seem to be used frequently as consents although they are being portrayed as advance directives. They are completed without the information required for a valid informed consent. | The forms also generally make no attempt to place the person’s expression of wishes in the context of their current health condition, or to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment.

#HCCCFA defines "representative" in this manner means a person authorized by a representation agreement to make or help in making decisions on behalf of another and includes an alternate representative. This would seem to limit the support for anyone who does not have a representative under the Representation Agreement Act. However as noted, | |||
#Nothing in this regulation confers on the person any greater authority to make health or personal care decisions than the person has under those Acts or an agreement under the Representation Agreement Act. | |||
