Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The law states that the persons receiving healthcare must give permission to treat based on informed consent. The principle of informed consent states that the person receiving the treatment fully understands the possible outcomes, alternatives to treatment, and all possible consequences.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Patients admitted to hospitals, nursing homes, and home health services, sign a document that gives personnel permission to treat them. However, every time the nurse provides nursing care to a person, permission must be obtained. The courts have ruled that people are expected to have some understanding of basic care, which means the nurse should briefly explain what he or she is about to do without going into an exhaustive explanation.
