Luckie asked:
Advance Directives = living will, heath care proxy, or durable power of attorney for health care)
A. the health care consumer
B. the primary care physician
C. the nursing assistant
D. hospital administration.
I was thinking it was A too, but issues mean:
The act or an instance of flowing, passing, or giving out.
and the health care consumer receives it not issues it.

A. the health care consumer
A. The health care consumer. In the advanced directive the consumer describes what measures he or she would like if they are unable to speak or decide for themselves. The other choices should honor the written advanced directive.
Edit: The forms are available from hospitals, offices, etc. but “issuing” means that the consumer conveys what they would or would not want done before they become incapacitated. None of the others can do that for anyone else. The consumer issues it and provides copies to the hospital and health care provider, not the other way around.
The ill individual or the person who has medical conservatorship issues medical consent. It is often the next of kin. Thus, to anser your question, the health care consumer normally issues the advance directives.
