"The level of treatment indicated under subparagraph (A)(ii) may range from an indication for full treatment to an indication to limit some or all or specified interventions.
Such indicated levels of treatment may include indications respecting, among other items—16 ‘‘(i) the intensity of medical intervention if the 17 patient is pulse less, apneic, or has serious cardiac 18 or pulmonary problems;19 ‘‘(ii) the individual’s desire regarding transfer20 to a hospital or remaining at the current care set21 Ting;22 ‘‘(iii) the use of antibiotics; and 23 ‘‘(iv) the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration.’’.
