Levels of Intervention* (care) (LOI) (Annex 1): Expression of the patient's values and wishes in the form of goals of intervention, which results from a discussion between the patient or their representative and the doctor concerning the anticipated evolution of the state of health, the options for appropriate medical care and their consequences, in order to orient care and guide the choice of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions (INESSS, 2016). As of 2023 nurse practitioners can determine the level of intervention according to their specialty (OIIQ, 2023). If a LOI is completed with someone other than the patient, it should be done in accordance with the patient’s wishes and values, taking into account an AMD, should one exist. The Levels of Care and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation from the Santé et Services sociaux form can also be signed by the user or their representative and a copy provided to them (Appendix 1). *The term ''intervention'' is used rather than ''care'' as a more apt translation for ''soins'' used in governmental documents, such as INESSS Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): Medical intervention consisting of chest compressions and artificial ventilation to maintain circulatory flow and oxygenation during cardiac arrest. Medical Emergency: An acute injury or illness that poses significant risk to the individual.
