Legal and Ethical Issues of Informed Consent
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
This 5 page report
discusses informed consent as the mechanism through which people
fully understand what is happening to them or their family
members. It is used in reference to medical procedures, legal
actions, and a variety of other areas in which one can claim that
a patient or client was both informed of what was about to take
place and either supported the action or had no objection to it.
Ethical and legal issues come into play when one considers
whether or not the person understood what he or she was being
informed of or whether they simply gave their “consent” without
knowing what else they could do. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
