Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Informed consent procedures involve informing patients of their condition and the treatments that are available. It is important for patients to have enough information about their condition and treatment options to make an informed decision about their care. The family may be informed as well, but it is ultimately the patient's decision to consent to treatment. Staff may also be informed of the patient's condition to provide appropriate care, but this is not part of informed consent procedures. Similarly, clergy are not automatically informed of a patient's hospitalization as this is not relevant to informed consent.
