This one-side sheet suggests a series of questions patients can ask their health professional to help them make a decision about their treatment and care.

The sheet guides patients through a series of questions to help:

• identify the issue they are concerned about
• record their diagnosis
• record their options
• understand the implications of each option

The Ottawa Personal Decision Guide (also available on this site) provides a similar framework but allows for a more detailed review of the issues that may affect a person’s decision.
