What is required for informed consent to be valid?
Answer choices
A.
The patient must be competent and of legal age, give consent voluntarily, understand the procedure/risks/benefits/alternatives, and have all questions answered satisfactorily; it is the duty of the HCP performing the procedure to obtain informed consent, while the RN typically witnesses the signature rather than providing the informed consent itself.
B.
The patient only needs to sign the consent form; verbal explanation of risks and benefits is optional as long as written documentation exists.
C.
The nurse who will be assisting with the procedure is solely responsible for explaining the procedure, risks, benefits, and alternatives, and for obtaining the patient's signature.
D.
A family member's verbal agreement is sufficient to substitute for the competent adult patient's own consent, regardless of the patient's wishes.
