Sold in pads of 25 sheets. This decision aid is for people with serious illness (like heart or lung disease, dementia, or cancer) facing a decision about the use of long-term tube feeding. Individuals are guided to consider what care they would want if their illness or disability made it hard to swallow and they were no longer able to eat or drink enough by mouth to maintain nutrition. This decision aid will help an individual consider his/her options and personal values and beliefs. They should talk to their doctor about what they might expect. The individual's choice can be changed at any time. Whatever the choice, the individual will be kept as comfortable as possible. 

The following webinar shares a general overview of Respecting Choices decision aids and provides an example of a shared decision-making discussion using the CPR decision aid.  You may want also want to print our Decision Aid User Guide as a helpful resource. 

One of the ultimate goals of Respecting Choices’ approach to person-centered decision making is to assist individuals in making informed decisions that align with their expressed goals and values. Person-centered conversations are promoted through a shared decision-making process aided by tools to help patients understand information in an unbiased manner and weigh these options against their personal goals and values.

Respecting Choices’ decision aids are designed to be used during an in-person discussion with a healthcare professional and as part of a larger conversation with a patient (and family) facing a potential decision about certain options associated with the patient’s illness. The setting may be a clinic, physician's office, or hospital.
