Explanation:

Informed consent is generally required before medical procedures. However, in an emergency situation like performing CPR on an unconscious patient, there is no time to obtain consent as it is a life - saving measure. Non - English speakers or those with disabilities can still be provided information in an appropriate way to obtain consent. An invasive procedure, whether it requires hospitalization or not, typically needs consent.

Performing CPR on an unconscious patient
