Advance care plannin: "Intervention" refers to anything that can be done in an attempt to improve your health, be it drugs, tests, surgery, etc. We also include IVs, tube feeding, artificial ventilation (breathing machine w/tube down your throat), etc. And of course, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) where ribs may be broken & we may need to shock you. "Care decision" means deciding whether any of above are for you
