  • Title: Informed consent: ethical and legal implications for nursing practice.
    Author: Carl RR.
    Journal: Okla Nurse; 1997; 42(4):18. PubMed ID: 12025577.
    Abstract:
    The informed consent "process" is a significant dimension of ethical and legal nursing practice. Ethical and legal nursing practices are derived through an understanding of informed consent and knowledge of related nursing responsibilities. Awareness of the historical context, ethical underpinnings, and legal requirements related to informed consent are also important. Nursing practices that speak to these facets of informed consent are in the best interest of clients and nurses.
