issue is the possible impact of the level of burden on the partner’s perception of the patient. Partners are often requested to make proxy decisions on behalf of patients, such as those patients who are incompetent by reason of mental illness, brain damage, and/or dementia (Wakefield, et.al, 2011). These judgments can be, and typically are, influenced by the partner’s own interests; that is, a partner may covertly request care and treatment options he or she wants for the patient, rather than…
