To guide treatment decisions for incompetent patients who have no advance directives, health care institutions should look to the preferences of their own communities of patients. That is the best way to ensure that incompetent patients' wishes will be followed.
对于没有预先指示的无行为能力患者,为指导治疗决策,医疗机构应参考其自身患者群体的偏好。这是确保无行为能力患者的意愿得到遵循的最佳方式。
