Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Informed consent is a process, not a one-time event, that involves ongoing communication between the counselor and client to ensure the client fully understands the nature, benefits, and potential risks of the counseling process. Simply having clients read and sign a document may not ensure they fully comprehend or agree to the terms, making ongoing dialogue essential.
