There are two types of proxy consent for adults. The first, the power of attorney to consent to medical care, is usually used by patients who want medical care but are concerned about who will consent if they are rendered temporarily incompetent by the medical care. A power of attorney to consent to medical care delegates the right to consent to a specific person. The second type is the living will. These are discussed in Chapter 13.
