## Short answer
Prepare questions about personal clinical instructions, an actual contact and a fallback for one essential function. Distinguish the clarification sought, the answer actually agreed and the ability to use it.

## Questions
**Does this article decide how long to wait during deterioration?** No. It provides no thresholds, doses or safe waiting periods.
**Is a family note a medical plan?** No. A preference, professional recommendation and legally effective document differ.
**Does ReSPECT apply everywhere?** It is a British example; local processes and an individual plan need separate examination.
**Without money, family or an app?** One oral question at an available encounter is possible. A free fallback is not promised.

## Limits
Present acute deterioration does not wait for reading, relatives or a completed form. No individual medical/legal determination or verified local contact. Communication support does not automatically transfer decisions. Disability does not mean approaching death.
