Consent is a concept that can be complex and difficult to understand, but it does not have to be. This book is a handy pocket-sized guide to the consent process that treats consent as an essential part of your everyday practice.
From assent to self-determination, via legally valid consent, it’s full of practical detail about:
what consent is
who can give consent
the ways in which consent can be given
when consent can be given
how you can work with your patient through the consent process.
Written by an experienced lecturer with input provided by current nursing students, this guidance is produced with you in mind – and you can carry it with you at all times!
