A durable power of attorney for health care is:

  1. A document outlining emergency procedures

  2. A financial management document

  3. A legal document that appoints someone to make medical decisions for a person who is unable to do so for himself

  4. An agreement for long-term care insurance

The correct answer is: A legal document that appoints someone to make medical decisions for a person who is unable to do so for himself

A durable power of attorney for health care is a legal document that appoints someone to make medical decisions for a person who is unable to do so for himself. This option is the only one that specifically mentions medical decisions and the inability of the person to make them for themselves. A document outlining emergency procedures may not be legally binding and may not include long-term medical decision-making. A financial management document is not related to medical decisions and may not have the necessary legal authority in times of medical emergencies. An agreement for long-term care insurance is not the same as appointing someone to make medical decisions and may only cover certain aspects of healthcare.
