What are advance directives?

Legal documents for medical care choices
Equipment for daily living tasks
Daily personal care tasks
Biological aging processes

The correct answer is: Legal documents for medical care choices

Advance directives are legal documents that allow individuals to outline their preferences for medical care in the event that they are unable to communicate their wishes due to illness or incapacitation. This includes instructions regarding life-sustaining treatments, resuscitation efforts, and other healthcare decisions. By having these documents in place, individuals can ensure that their healthcare wishes are honored and that their loved ones are not left to make difficult decisions without guidance. The other options do not accurately define advance directives. Equipment for daily living tasks, such as mobility aids or adaptive devices, falls under assistive technology rather than legal documentation of health care preferences. Daily personal care tasks involve the routine activities provided by caregivers, like bathing and grooming, which are also unrelated to legal medical decision-making. Lastly, biological aging processes refer to the natural changes that occur in the body over time, which does not pertain to the legal and medical choices encapsulated in advance directives.
