Final answer:

Conditions of Participation is not an advance directive within the Patient Self-Determination Act. Advance directives include Living Will, Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, and Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order.

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the choices given, Conditions of Participation is not an example of an advance directive addressed within the Patient Self-Determination Act.

The options that are considered advance directives are: 1) Living Will, which specifies the types of medical treatment a person wishes to receive or avoid in the event that they can no longer make decisions for themselves.

3) Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care designates someone to make health care decisions on behalf of the individual if they are unable to do so, and 4) Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order, which directs medical personnel not to perform CPR if the person's heart stops beating or if they stop breathing.
