Informed Consent

在医疗过程中，你有权决定对你的身体做什么. 你的医生会和你讨论你的病情, 建议的治疗和任何可用的替代程序. 您的医生也会向您提供与某些医疗程序相关的风险信息. 这些信息将帮助你对你想要接受的治疗做出明智的决定.

Surrogate Decision-Maker

如果你无法做出自己的医疗保健决定，没有法定监护人或根据医疗委托书指定的人, 然后，某些家庭成员和其他人可以代表你做出医疗决定.

Advance Directives

Individuals usually make decisions regarding their health care treatment after their physician recommends a course of treatment and provides information about the treatment. These decisions may become more difficult, however, 如果病人无法告诉他们的医生和亲人他们想要什么样的医疗保健治疗. Through documents known as advance directives, 个人可以在他们真正需要这种治疗之前表达他们的治疗偏好, 确保他们的愿望得以实现，确保他们的家人和其他人不会面临做出这些艰难决定的困难.

以下是德克萨斯州法律认可的四种预先指示的一般信息. 预先指示可以随时更改或取消.

Directive to Physicians

A Directive to Physicians, also known as a “living will,允许你告诉你的医生，如果你身患绝症，不要使用人工方法来延长死亡的过程. 在您被诊断出患有绝症或不可逆转的疾病之前，指令不会生效.

If you sign a Directive, 和你的医生谈谈，并要求将其作为你病历的一部分. 如果由于某种原因你无法签署书面指示, you can issue a Directive verbally or by other means of nonwritten communication, in the presence of your physician.

如果您没有发布指令，并且在被诊断患有绝症或不可逆转的疾病后无法沟通, your attending physician and legal guardian, 或者某些没有法定监护人的家庭成员, can make decisions concerning withdrawing, 停止或提供维持生命的治疗. Your attending physician and another physician not involved in your care also can make decisions to withdraw or withhold life sustaining treatment if you do not have a guardian and certain family members are not available.

Medical Power of Attorney

另一种类型的预先指示是医疗委托书, which allows you to designate someone you trust – an agent – to make health care decisions on your behalf should you become unable to make these decisions yourself.

你不能选择你的医疗保健提供者作为你的代理人, including a physician, hospital or nursing home; an employee of your health care provider, unless he is your relative; your residential care provider, such as a nursing home or hospice; or an employee of your residential care provider, unless he is related to you.

The person you designate has authority to make health care decisions on your behalf only when your attending physician certifies that you lack the capacity to make your own health care decisions. 如果你反对，你的代理人不能做出医疗决定, 不管你是否有能力自己做医疗决定, 或者医疗委托书是否有效.

您的代理人必须在咨询您的主治医生后做出医疗保健决定, 根据探员对你意愿的了解, including your religious and moral beliefs. If your wishes are unknown, your agent must make a decision based on what he believes is in your best interest.

Out-of-Hospital Do-Not-Resuscitate Order

院外急救令允许你拒绝在医院外的任何环境中接受某些维持生命的治疗. This advance directive must be issued in conjunction with your attending physician.

Declaration for Mental Health Treatment

Another type of advance directive deals with mental health treatment issues only. 《星际娱乐app》允许你告诉卫生保健提供者你对精神健康治疗的选择, in the event that you become incapacitated.

Organ Donation

您的捐赠承诺不会影响您的医疗护理.  Organ, 只有在所有拯救生命的努力已经完成，并且已经宣布死亡或即将死亡之后，眼睛和组织捐赠才成为一种选择.  Information is shared upon death with our Organ Procurement Agency, LifeGift.  一旦确认捐赠的适宜性，LifeGift将联系家属征求同意.

Legal Aspects of Advance Directives

An advanced directive does not need to be notarized. Neither this healthcare entity nor your physician may require you to execute an advance directive as a condition for admittance or receiving treatment in this or any other healthcare setting. 你已执行预先指示的事实不会影响你可能拥有的任何保险单.

已经采取了正式的政策，以确保在法律允许的范围内尊重你做出医疗决定的权利. Matagorda County Hospital District has adopted policies relating to informed consent and implementation and treatment decisions under the Directive to Physicians, the Medical Power of Attorney, 院外禁止复苏令和精神健康治疗声明.

That person must talk to your doctor, and your doctor must document the date, time, 谈话的结果记录在你的医疗记录里.
• Third, you may be detained longer than four hours if your doctor has reason to believe that you might meet the criteria for court-ordered services or emergency detention because: – 你可能会对自己造成严重伤害; – you are likely to cause serious harm to others; or – 您的病情将继续恶化，您无法做出是否继续治疗的明智决定.

如果你的医生认为你可能符合法院命令的服务或紧急拘留的标准, 他或她必须在你提交出院申请后24小时内亲自检查你. You must be allowed to leave the hospital upon completion of the in-person examination unless your doctor confirms that you meet the criteria for court-ordered services and files an application for court-ordered services. 该申请要求法官签发法院命令，要求你留在该机构接受服务. 该命令只有在法官决定以下任何一种情况下才会发出:

• 你可能会对自己造成严重伤害;
• you are likely to cause serious harm to others; or
• 您的病情将继续恶化，您无法做出是否继续治疗的明智决定.

即使提交了法院命令的服务申请, 你不能在医院留到下午4点以后.m. 当面审查后的第一个工作日，除非获得法院送达令.

3. You have the right not to have an application for court ordered services filed while you are receiving voluntary services at the hospital unless your physician determines that you meet the criteria for court-ordered services as outlined in §573.022 of the Texas Health and Safety Code and:

• you request discharge (see number 2 above);
• you are absent without authorization;
• your doctor believes you are unable to consent to appropriate and necessary treatment; or
• you refuse to consent to necessary and appropriate treatment recommended by your doctor and your doctor states in the certificate of medical examination that: – there is no reasonable alternative treatment; and – you will not benefit from continued inpatient care without the recommended treatment.

4. Your doctor must note in your medical record and tell you about any plans to file an application for court-ordered treatment or for detaining you for other clinical reasons. 如果医生发现你可以出院, you should be discharged without further delay. 注:法律的制定是为了确保不需要治疗的人不接受治疗. The Texas Health and Safety Code says that any person who intentionally causes or helps another person cause the unjust commitment of a person to a mental hospital is guilty of a crime punishable by a fine of up to $5,并/或在县监狱监禁一年以下.
