(b) An individual is rebuttably presumed to have capacity to make a health care decision, to give or revoke an advance health care directive, and to designate or disqualify a surrogate.
(c) An individual who is a qualified patient, including an individual for whom a physician, an advanced practice registered nurse, or a physician assistant has issued a do not resuscitate order, has the right to make a decision regarding the use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other life-sustaining procedures as long as the individual is able to make the decision.
