 health care instructions to direct health care providers, others 
 assisting with health care, family members, and a health care 
 agent.  A health care directive may include a health care power

 decisions for the principal when the principal, in the judgment 
 of the principal's attending physician, lacks decision-making 
 capacity, unless otherwise specified in the health care
