tailieunhanh - EVALUATION OF CAPACITY TO CONSENT TO TREATMENT AND RESEARCH

Patients provide valid informed consent to a treatment or a diagnostic procedure if they have sufficient capacity, have been given appropriate information, and give consent freely without coercion or undue influence. When a patient’s capacity for treatment consent is in doubt, a clinician must determine whether the patient indeed has the capacity. It is a common reason behind requests for psychiatric consultations in a general hospital (Appelbaum, 2007). Furthermore, a significant proportion of medical inpatients have impaired abilities relevant to providing informed consent, often unrecognized by the treating team (Raymont et al., 2004) | OXFORD EVALUATION OF CAPACITY TO CONSENT TO TREATMENT AND RESEARCH BEST PRACTICES IN FORENSIC MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT Series Editors Thomas Grisso Alan M.
