Answer:

Informed consent is important to the patient for all of the above reasons because it allows the patient to know about his treatment and the risk involved, as well as giving him freedom of choice and participation in the health care process.

Explanation:

Before being subjected to an investigation, diagnostic study or treatment —especially if it involves risk— a patient must know everything about the procedure and has the right to express his or her acceptance or rejection by signing an informed consent.

If the terms <em>"informed</em>" and <em>"consent" </em>are analyzed separately, it can be established that you are informed because information related to a procedure is dispensed, while consent implies acceptance or refusal of the procedure.

Informed consent provided:

  1. <em>The right of the patient to receive information of interest, with the benefits and negative —or harmful—side effects of a given medical treatment being explained. </em>
  2. <em>A resource that allows the patient to participate in decisions related to his/her health and medical treatment. </em>
  3. <em>The patient's ability to make decisions about the types of medical treatments and procedures offered to him. </em>

The purpose of informed consent is to ensure, to the fullest extent possible, that a patient knows the positive and negative aspects of a treatment, makes a judgment, and decides whether or not to accept it.

I think this says that self esteem is a bigger issue in schools than it used to be. a lot of teens have a low self esteem due to bullying and teasing in school. most of the higher self esteem children are the ones who think they are better than everyone else and they usually end up having a bad attitude towards other people which causes them to have very few friends.
