What is the difference between competency and rationality, and how does that difference affect decision-making in long-term care. provide specific examples to support your answer?

Competency refers to the capacity to make treatment decisions. This includes the capability to consent to a particular medical treatment and is presumed that adult persons are competent. Rationality is the decisional capacity to make reasonable choices in regard to one’s health. Competency affects decision making in long term care given that the elderly may not have the decisional capacity to make some decisions especially at an advanced age. An example is decisions concerning test treatments and medicine.
