Your information entered here will be included on the final copy of your Dementia Advance Directive (addendum).

If the changes caused by dementia result in any of the following:

• I no longer appear to desire food or drink, turn my head, or otherwise avoid being fed or given fluids
• I do not open my mouth to accept food or drink without prompting, and all food or drink must be provided by a caregiver (hand or spoon-feeding)
• I am unable to safely swallow food or drink (cough, choke, or aspirate/inhale)
• The negative consequences of continued food or drink, as determined by a medical provider, outweigh the benefits

Yo estoy completando este documento porque quiero que mi(s) persona designada (s) en la toma de decisiones, médicos y equipo de atención médica, familia, cuidadores y seres queridos conozcan mis deseos respecto al tipo de cuidados que deseo si vivo con demencia.

Si los cambios causados por la demencia provocan algo de lo siguiente:

• Parece que ya no deseo comer ni beber (giro la cabeza, escupo la comida, no abro la boca). 
• Dependo de otra persona para que me proporcione toda la comida y bebida (también conocido como alimentación a mano o con cuchara). 
• No puedo tragar alimentos o con seguridad (toso, me atraganto o aspiro/inhalo) 
• Las consecuencias negativas de seguir comiendo o bebiendo, determinadas por un médico, son mayores que los beneficios.
