Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Consent must be voluntary and not coerced; the patient must understand what he is signing, must have legal capacity, and must understand the consequences of refusal. Witnessing a consent means attesting to the voluntary nature of the patient's signature.
