Minors cannot give consent and therefore a parent\/legal guardian may do so. However, a pediatric patient should participate in the decision-making process whenever reasonable. It is important to educate the pediatric population on body autonomy. It is crucial to provide disclosure of diagnostics and treatment information allowing choices of care when possible. Children and teens should be a part of any plan of care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having a health care surrogate is so important for patients who are not capable of giving informed consent. It is vital to have the surrogate be apart of the ongoing health care plan so they are readily informed on the patients wishes. Choosing someone that knows you well is always a good idea so they can advocate your wishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
