Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituted judgment simply refers to a decision that is made by an individual on behalf of someone else who is considered to be incompetent and therefore unable to make a decision for himself or herself.

In such scenario, the decision-maker trhes as much as possible to be accurate and make a decision with facts on behalf of the incompetent person.
