  • Informed Consent and Refusal
    CHAPTER 3 Informed Consent and Refusal Evolution of the doctrine of informed consent Elements of informed consent and refusal The nature of informed consent Exceptions to the consent requirement Mrs. Stack is a 67- year- old woman admitted with rectal bleeding, chronic renal in- sufficiency, diabetes, and blindness. On admission, she was alert and capacitated. Two weeks later, she suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest, was resuscitated and intu- bated, and was transferred to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) in an unrespon- sive and unstable state. Consent for emergency dialysis was obtained from her son, who is also her health care agent. Dialysis was repeated two days later. During the past several years, Mrs. Stack has consistently stated to her family and her primary care doctor that she would never want to be on chronic dialysis and she has refused it numerous times when it was recommended. The physician, who has known and treated Mrs. Stack for many years, also treated her daughter who had been on chronic dialysis for some time and had died after suffering a heart attack. According to the physician and the patient’s family, Mrs. Stack’s refusal of dialysis has been based on her conviction that her daughter died as a result of the dialysis treatments. Mrs. Stack’s mental status has cleared considerably and, despite the ventilator, she is able to communicate nonverbally. Although she appears to understand the benefits of dialysis and the consequences of refusing it, including deterioration and eventual death, she has consistently and vehemently refused further treatments. Her capacity to make this decision is not now in question.

The Implications of Religious Beliefs on Medical and Patient Care Abstract Throughout history and to this date in a continuously globalized world, monotheistic religions and medicine have caused numerous acrimonious debates especially in crucial moments of life and death. Medical and nursing staff working with patients from different religions in any country in the world must adhere to and respect those patients’ faiths and be aware of them to provide better patient care and in worst case scenarios, avoid litigation. Furthermore, this paper should not to be treated as an encyclopedic reference; it is merely a general overview into the three monotheistic faiths to alert professional healthcare staff of the possibility of a religious implication even if it contradicts their own concerns and points of views.

  • Informed Consent for Participation in Personal Training
    PRINCETON UNIVERSITY Personal Training INFORMED CONSENT FOR PARTICIPATION IN PERSONAL TRAINING Name: ________________________ 1. Purpose and Explanation of Procedure I desire to participate voluntarily in an acceptable plan of exercise conditioning. I also desire to be placed in program activities which are recommended to me for improvement of my general health and well-being in which I will be given exact instructions regarding the amount and kind of exercise I should do. Professionally trained personnel will provide leadership to direct my activities, monitor my performance and otherwise evaluate my effort. Depending upon my health status, I may or may not be required to have my heart rate evaluated during these sessions and/or regulate my exercise within desired limits. I understand that I am expected to follow staff instructions with regard to the proper performance of each exercise. I have been advised and understand it is recommended that I obtain a medical examination by a physician before I participate in this program. The medical examination is highly suggested in order to identify conditions which may preclude participation. If I am taking prescribed medications, I have already so informed the program staff and further agree to inform them promptly of any changes which my doctor or I may make with regard to such use. I have been informed that during my participation in exercise, I will be asked to complete the physical activities unless such symptoms as fatigue, shortness of breath, chest discomfort or similar occurrences appear. At that point, I have been advised it is my complete right and responsibility to decrease or stop exercising and that it is my obligation to inform the program personnel of my symptoms.

If you are using the same script across all platforms, state so. • Make sure the information you include is consistent with the information you provide in the application and consent form. • Remember, it is okay to leave out details that are subject to change (e.g., study or session dates, gift card vendors). It is very possible that your study will not start when you want it to. If you leave out actual dates, you will not need to submit a modification request to change it later. The same thing goes with gift cards. If your study is funded, you may work with ORSP to get gift cards. You may need 40 $5 gift cards, but they do not have 40 from the same vendor.

  • The Informed Consent Process Research Network What Is Informed Consent?
    Dietetics Practice Based The Informed Consent Process Research Network What is informed consent? Informed consent is a process of information exchange about the research including reviewing eligibility or recruitment materials with the subject, reviewing the informed consent document, answering questions, and checking for subject understanding. Usually, but not always, at the end of this process the informed consent is documented via a signature from the subject. One of the main goals of the informed consent process is to help the potential subject make a risk-benefit ratio assessment regarding their study participation. Explain eligibility Provide relevant information about project goals and requirements Assess understanding Answer questions Obtain consent Document (if necessary) The Informed Consent Document—What are the required elements? An Informed Consent Document should include all of the following elements: • Research Statement—be clear that the project is research, also include the purpose, duration, and required procedures • Risks and discomforts • Benefits (remember that payment or compensation is not a benefit) • Alternatives—What are other options to the subject besides taking part in the research (including not taking part in the research as an option) • Confidentiality and limits thereof (remember that regulatory agencies may look at the records) • Compensation for study participation • Contact person • Voluntary Refusal and Right to withdraw—subject may stop participation at any time and not lose any benefits they are

  • Bioethics and Informed Consent
    Bioethics and Informed Consent Professor Lucy Allais Informed consent is a central notion in bioethics. The emphasis on informed consent in medical practice is relatively recent (20th century). Bioethics is a relatively young field, beginning, in the USA, in the 50s and 60s, maturing in the 80s and 90s. This is different to both medical ethics, and ethics generally. Medical ethics Reflections by doctors and societies on the ethics of medical practice is probably as old as doctoring (Hippocratic oath; the Code of Hammurabi, written in Babylon in 1750 BC). Traditionally focused on the doctor-patient relationship and the virtues possessed by the good doctor. (Kuhse and Singer A Companion to Bioethics 2001:4). Ethics in philosophy: Morality: how should we live? what is right? what is wrong? Ethics: the academic study of morality. Are there objective values? Are there truths about right and wrong? What makes actions wrong? How do we resolve moral disputes? What is the basis of human rights? When (if ever) is euthanasia permissible? Is it morally justifiable to incarcerate MDR TB patients? “in 1972, no American medical school thought medical ethics important enough to be taught to all future physicians.... A decade later, in 1984—after the advent of bioethics—84 percent of medical schools required students to take a course in medical ethics or bioethics during their first two years of instruction.” (Baker 2013) The four core values of autonomy, justice, beneficence and non-maleficence. Autonomy often dominates discussions of bioethics. 6 Informed consent is linked to autonomy. Autonomy means being self-governing. Autonomy is often thought to be at the basis of human rights: human rights protect the capacities of each individual to live their life for themself.
