Importance Of Informed Consent

199 Words1 Page

Informed consent is an important part of patient autonomy. Discuss how you inform your patient about implants and the potential risks / complications associated with implants. Our practice does not offer implant placement. We usually refer our patients to a specialist if they choose to get implant instead of a permanent bridge. My job is to inform the patient about the importance of immaculate homecare and the proper ways of caring for the implants after placement. I also maintain existing implants and evaluate for implant health. We do not recommend implants as an option for tooth replacement for patients with severe periodontal issues because the failure rate is high. I do talk to my patients about the benefits of having implant and also

    Informed consent means to give a patient all the necessary information that is needed to make an informed and voluntary decision or agreeing to a treatment, or research that will benefit them. For doctors to fully obtain informed consent, Henrietta should have been told or given the necessary information about the possible risks and benefits of the research, so that she can have an understanding and make a decision whether or not to participate in the study. The purpose, the procedures, the potential risks and benefits of her being involved in the research should have been given to her, and also the risks and benefits of other options available to her should have been presented to her. She should have also been given time to discuss her decision to consent to the research with her family. If anything, I believe that the consent form was about any mishaps that might have happened during her surgery.

    Case #1 It does not appear that Jamie had discussed inform consent as part of her ethical and legal duty to inform the client clearly about confidentiality and the exceptions. Sarah apparently did not know that the sessions were confidential until the session had already started and later you can also tell that she did not know about the exceptions to confidentiality. Although Jamie told her that the sessions were completely confidential, she failed to tell her that there were numerous exceptions and disclosing those limits, both as part of the inform consent contract ……is ethically required.

    Establishing trust is very important, and providing a patient with a consent form will make them feel respected. Also providing the patient with an informed consent form will make them worry less about what will happen. The informed consent form must have what will happen during this research and the role the tissue or the patient plays into everything. This will make patients worry less and take some of the stress away from them. Due to the patients knowing exactly what will happen the stress and worry will go down because they voluntarily signed the form.

    The Health Care Consent Act (HCCA) sets out explicit rules and specifies when consent is required and who can give the consent when the client is incapable of doing so (College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO), 2009). According to the HCCA (1996), there is no minimum age for providing or refusing consent in Ontario.

    Informed Consent Working in a public school system, one has to adhere to different guidelines when obtaining informed consent. First and foremost, one is obtaining parental or guardian consent rather than from the individual. A student has to be eligible for special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act before a referral for a physical therapy evaluation can be considered. This document addresses more legal than ethical matters. It states that the parent or guardian gives consent to the school district to evaluate my child and in giving consent that it is voluntary and may be revoked at any time (ISPE2102- Parent Consent for Evaluation- English, 2015).

    In the Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital study of 1963, a vulnerable group of subjects, such as the chronically ill and debilitated noncancerous patients in New York were injected with live human cancer cells without their consent to understand whether the body's inability to reject cancer cells was due to cancer or debilitation. Physicians did not inform the participating patients that they would be injected with live cancer cells so as not to scare them, since it was believed that the cells would be promptly rejected anyway, by the healthy people and the cancer cells would also be rejected by the debilitated patients but at a substantially slower rate (Emanuel et al, 2008). An informed consent of the study was never taken in writing for the

    Consent is patients’ rights because they have right to know what is happening to their life which is fundamental value in professional practice (Department of Health (DH), 2001). Dougherty and Lister (2015) state that consent is a patient’s rights to refuse or to accept a treatment. However, Dimond (2010) said that consent is a voluntarily decision which can be given orally, verbally, written or implied for example if you ask a patient to take their blood pressure and they offer their arm. Eyal (2012) also states that consent promote trust in medical procedures that people may seek and comply with medical advice and participate in medical research. Bok (2013) argues that there are problems with the trust-promoting as many patients give consent despite being to some extent distrustful.
