Lecture Notes

PS: So are the doctors going to force me to take medication? A: You have the right to be informed of your treatment options and to give consent to treatment; to know the potential side effects of any medication or treatment; and to withdraw consent to treatment made by you. If it is determined that you are unable to make good treatment decisions for yourself, your guardian or guardian advocate will provide express and informed consent to treatment.
