What are advance directives?

  1. Instructions for future medical treatment in case of incapacity

  2. Early warning systems for natural disasters

  3. Guidelines for advancing in a professional career

  4. Legal documents for advancing inheritance

The correct answer is: Instructions for future medical treatment in case of incapacity

Advance directives are legal documents that state an individual's wishes for future medical treatment in the event they become incapacitated and are unable to make decisions for themselves. They allow an individual to express their preferences for end-of-life care, such as life-sustaining treatments and organ donation. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe what advance directives are. Natural disaster early warning systems, professional career advancement guidelines, and legal documents for inheritance are all unrelated to end-of-life care and decision making.
