Steps to Reducing Risks to Vulnerable Populations

24. Undue inducement occurs when a person makes a choice in circumstances in which external factors are likely to have an inappropriate influence on his or her decision-making process. 25. The choice made by the person is not entirely free because it is unduly influenced by these external factors.

When You Need Consent In the medical field, informed consent is required before any out-of-the ordinary procedures, while express consent is adequate for typical procedures or during an emergency. If a patient is unconscious but her life is at risk, only implied consent is required.

12 The surrogate has the responsibility to provide informed consent, which he/she believes the patient would have made under the circumstances.

Four core criteria must be met: the patient giving consent must have capacity • the consent must be freely given • the consent must be sufficiently specific to the procedure or treatment proposed • the consent must be informed.

While the term “consent” in the medical setting refers to a patient’s expressed or implied agreement to submit to an examination or treatment, the doctrine of “informed consent” requires that the medical assistant give the patient all the information necessary for a knowledgeable decision on the proposed procedure.

Informed consent: The process by which a patient learns about and understands the purpose, benefits, and potential risks of a medical or surgical intervention, including clinical trials, and then agrees to receive the treatment or participate in the trial.

Informed consent is a legal and ethical term defined as the consent by a client to a proposed medical or psychotherapeutic procedure, or for participation in a research project or clinical study.
