Explanation:

Question 1

The term for written guidelines describing appropriate assessment and care in specific situations is "Protocols". These are standard procedures in medical and emergency care contexts.

An "emancipated" minor is a minor who has certain adult rights, like being married, pregnant, a parent, in the armed forces, or with court permission. The misspelling in the original should be corrected to "emancipated".

An advance "directive" (like a DNR - Do Not Resuscitate order) is a document written before an emergency, signed by patient and physician, outlining medical wishes.

Answer:

Protocols
