English to Russian Medical Other

A patient may also choose to have a support person attend the care team meetings if needed to help communicate their medical decisions.
If a patient lacks decision-making capacity and has an authorized decision-maker, the clinical team must work with the patient (to the extent possible) and that person to ascertain what care and treatment the patient would want, based on advance directives if any, or any patient preferences the patient is currently or has previously communicated to the decision-maker.
If the patient has not appointed a decision-maker, the clinical team should work with the patient and their spouse, partner, family, or close friend.
Clinicians and health care organizations must follow law of our state on surrogate decision-making and *supported decision-making principles*.
