For a client undergoing electroconvulsive therapy, informed consent is necessary. The client should have nothing by mouth after midnight the evening before the procedure. The client needs to be alerted to the fact that dentures will be removed, there might be some confusion after the procedure, that close supervision will take place for at least the first 12 hours afterward, and that continued observation will take place for 48 hours after treatment.
