Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Expressed consent is when a patient gives consent either in writing or verbally. This is the most common type of consent given in healthcare settings. The patient has explicitly expressed their agreement to the care or procedure. Implied consent (A) is when consent is assumed based on the patient's behavior or circumstances. Emancipated consent (B) is given by minors who have been legally emancipated from their parents or guardians. Privileged consent (C) does not exist as a recognized type of consent in healthcare. Informed consent (E) is a type of expressed consent where the patient has been provided with information about the care or procedure, as well as any potential risks or benefits, and has given their consent based on that information.
