Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
If your Dad is not competent he cannot change a thing. Funny, I just had this conversation with my DD, RN. You as heathcare proxy has the responsiblility to to follow the of wishes the principle. Now is this proxy was written when Dad was younger and in better health and was still in good health, then if he wanted to be resuscitated then you would need to go along with it. But if years have passed, Dementia and illness have set in and elderly and Dad stops breathing, you can override his former wishes and let him go. My daughter says she sees it all the time but in reverse. Family won't let LO go. You make the best judgement for Dad not u.
Can I add a question to a question as this pertains to my situation/ my dad too What happens if the LO's will, health care proxy and POLST etc were all written some time ago, during times of mental competency, and written to be essentially "full treatment/ full code". However now the LO is not competent, and has signed a financial and health care POA, with myself and my brother as POAs. Are we now essentially stuck with this full code status? If my dad went to PCP and said that he now wants to dramatically change things, including to a Do Not Hospitalize level, would they allow him too since invoked his POA ?
"Do Not Hospitalize order (“DNH”). There are 2 types of DNH orders: 1) one is an absolute prohibition against hospitalization under any circumstances; and 2) a general recommendation to avoid hospitalization, but allowing the health care proxy to make the decision on a case by case basis."
If you are the Medical Proxy then the Hospital Mom frequests needs to be made aware and have a copy on file with your info. You need to make all her doctor's aware too.
This is a form ordinarily used in a nursing home setting to post; it is akin to advance directive and it is an order not to hospitalize. If you mean WHO can get this, anyone can get it for him or herself from the MD and it is much like a POLST; it will dictate what may be done and what may not by MD order.
I note you have posted this under "depression"? Can you tell us a bit more about this form and why now you prefer to have it?
By asking "who can get" this form are you saying you want one for yourself? If this is the case, speak with your MD who should have these available and will make one out with you at an appointment.
DNH = Do Not Hospitalize order (or Do No Harm?) Are they the same as a DNR, or included in a DNR? I've not come across this term before... thanks for clarifying.
