question 33
which of the following is an example of implied consent?
patient does not want treatment, but is given it because the physician believes the patient needs it.
patient signs a consent form for surgery after discussing the procedure with his physician.
patient makes an appointment and arrives at imaging center for an x - ray.
patient fills out advance directive documents with instructions if she becomes unable to make decisions.

Explanation:

Implied consent occurs when a patient's actions suggest agreement to a procedure. Making an appointment and arriving for an X - ray at an imaging center implies consent for the X - ray procedure. The first option is non - consensual treatment, the second is explicit consent via signing a form, and the fourth is about advance directives, not implied consent.

Answer:

Patient makes an appointment and arrives at imaging center for an X - ray.
