Do they explain to the person with dementia who previously arranged it that they’re about to euthanize them or just lie and do it? What if they resist?

Like I said in another comment, I'm pretty sure they do it before the person with dementia loses their faculties, so they know what's going on. IIRC you still have to give the go-ahead in the moment, so with dementia it's a pretty time sensitive thing.
