Overall, wives were more accurate than husbands at predicting their spouses' treatment wishes. Surrogates' perceptions of their own abilities did not differ by gender but, among patients, husbands had more confidence than wives i…

For living wills to achieve their goal, the following three ass…
Older Adults' Attitudes Toward Death
