151 Words1 Page

An important point here is that after the confrontation Dr. Frederick admitted his mistake and for future decisions respect patients and verify that the informed consent is completed and the patient understands the risks they are exposed to, along with that the patient is in his right to change his mind, and if necessary notify it and complete a new consent for the benefit of all, but especially for a patient who is ultimately the one that suffers the physical and emotional damage and for the institution to avoid legal claims. As nurses is our responsibility to monitor the safety of the patient and the informed consent is an aspect which monitors the Joint Commission and a legal claim is the first aspect to be evaluated.

    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.

  • Understanding Informed Consent

    According to the website RNCentral.com there is an article, “Do You Understand Informed Consent,” and they believe since the nurse does not perform the surgery or procedure, getting the patient or parent’s signature is not part of their jurisdiction. If there is a miscommunication and the guardian does not fully understand how the procedure works, the nurse is supposed to notify the doctor or nursing supervisor. Therefore, their thoughts are that the nurse’s role should only be to make sure the one giving informed consent comprehends what is going on. Sometimes the child and their family does not pay attention due to the shock of the diagnoses, or they might feel dumb asking the physician questions. Also, according the article “Nurses’ Roles

    Abstract Patients have a right to receive the best treatment possible in medical settings around the world. Sometimes a patient can refuse that treatment and as nurses we have to stand by and let that happen. Despite the fact that informed consent is not always directly obtained by a nurse, we still have a duty to assist the physician and patient in order to make the process as fluid and smooth as possible. One of the best interventions we can implement is guide a patient by educating them so that they understand the procedure and the risks involved with it; by doing so, we preserve patient autonomy.

In the area of social work, the informed consent must be written in a clear form to ensure that clients understand the purposes, costs, and reasonable alternatives of the services provided. Client should also be aware that they can refuse or withdraw from services at any given moment.
