The following information is about Informed Consent.

Informed Consent Defined

Informed consent is a legal term referring to the right of individuals to make informed medical treatment decisions. Under State law, informed consent typically includes the right to be told of one's medical condition and prognosis, the risks and benefits associated with a recommended procedure or course of treatment, and the risks and benefits of other available treatment options, including the option of refusing treatment. When a person becomes mentally incapacitated, his or her right to give or withhold informed consent typically passes to the person's legal representative, usually an agent or attorney-in-fact under a durable power of attorney, a court-appointed guardian, or a close family member.

This definition is in context to Health Care. See more contextual defintions for Informed Consent.
