Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Informed consent requires that the client gives their consent voluntarily without any coercion or pressure. This ensures that the client has freely chosen to undergo the treatment or procedure, and has been fully informed of the benefits and risks associated with it. Choice A is incorrect because all parties involved do not have to agree on the treatment or procedure, it only requires the client's consent. Choice B is also incorrect as the client alone must give consent unless they are physically or mentally unable to do so. Choice C is incorrect because informed consent requires that the client understands the purpose of the treatment or procedure as well as the risks and benefits associated with it.
