4This appointment shall extend to, but not be limited to, health care decisions
relating to medical treatment, surgical treatment, nursing care, medication,
hospitalization, care and treatment in a nursing home or other facility, and
home health care. The representative appointed by this document is
specifically authorized to be granted access to my medical records and other
health information and to act on my behalf to consent to, refuse or withdraw
any and all medical treatment or diagnostic procedures, or autopsy if my
representative determines that I, if able to do so, would consent to, refuse or

intent that my family, my physician and all legal authorities be bound by the

provide special directives or limitations does not mean that I want or refuse
