Refusal of Treatment. The Resident and Responsible Party are fully responsible for any consequences that result from the Resident’s or Responsible Party’s refusal of or failure to comply with treatment.
Refusal of Treatment. Certain Eligible Persons may refuse to accept procedures or treatment recommended by the Medical Personnel. In such instance, the specific Medical Personnel who offered treatment to the Eligible Person may regard the refusal as incompatible with continuing the provider- patient relationship and an obstruction of proper medical care. If an Eligible Person refuses to accept treatment or procedures recommended by the specific Medical Personnel who offered treatment, such Medical Personnel may decline to provide further treatment to the Eligible Person. Provided that the Eligible Person is not verbally or physically abusive and does not engage in harassing or menacing behavior toward the subject Medical Personnel, the Eligible Person may seek treatment from other Medical Personnel providing services at the MyClinics.
Refusal of Treatment. The resident has the right to make an informal decision to refuse suggested medical treatment. However, where artificial nutrition and hydration is rejected Daughters of Xxxxx may only legally withhold or withdraw such treatment upon its, or a court’s, finding that the resident understands the benefits of such treatment, understands the risks and consequences of rejecting such treatment, and has made a firm and settled commitment to reject such treatment. Daughters of Xxxxx also is required to determine that any refusal to eat is not caused by a treatable condition. Daughters of Xxxxx may not legally honor a request to withhold or withdraw adequate and appropriate nutrition and hydration made by a person(s) other than the resident unless it has found by clear and convincing evidence that the resident him/herself had a firm and settled commitment to refuse the suggested nutrition and/or treatment. Until such clear and convincing evidence is found, Daughters of Xxxxx is obligated to provide adequate and appropriate nutrition and hydration to its residents. The resident and the responsible party hereby agree and understand that unless and until Daughters of Xxxxx has clear and convincing evidence that such resident wished to reject artificial nutrition and hydration, and/or other lie sustaining treatment which has been rejected, or until the matter is finally resolved by a court, the resident and the responsible party agree to meet all payment obligations incurred pursuant to this Agreement.
