Informed consent is the process in which a health care provider educates a patient about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a given procedure or intervention.
The patient must be competent to make a voluntary decision about whether to undergo the procedure or intervention.
Informed consent is both an ethical and legal obligation of medical practitioners and originates from the patient's right to direct what happens to their body.
