Answer:
Informed consent is an important part of effective client care that helps accomplish treatment goals.
Explanation:
In all cases of treatment and/or surgery, the medical staff is required to have a written or verbal consent from the patient that they are allowed to proceed with treatment. If the patient is not of sound mind or body, the next of kin are able to then determine the best course of action.
