You should also have a Durable Medical Power of Attorney for yourself, spouse, and parents, etc. I keep a .pdf copy of all on my cell phone since emergencies rarely occur while you are next to your file cabinet. I also have a summary medical history of each and list of meds on phone. Note that some states(like MD) let you combine durable medical POA with living will/advance directives and some don't (like VA and WV).
Also note that FL is somewhat odd in how it handles DNR orders. Out of state DNRs are likely to be ignored as not conforming to FL law.
