Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

What makes consent valid, beyond the signature?

 

A form records consent. The conversation creates it.

Lesson 1, Why communication and records matter, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

You doubt a person's capacity. You…

 

Support them first and ask the responsible clinician if you still doubt capacity.

Lesson 3, Consent in clear steps, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

A patient asks you to keep something from their family. You…

 

Confidentiality belongs to the patient. Confidentiality has limits. If someone is at risk of serious harm, or the law requires it, you may have to share. Speak to the nurse in charge.

Lesson 4, Grey areas, teaches this. See the outline
