Study Notes
Informed Consent and Decision-Making Capacity
- Incompetence refers to a patient's legal inability to make decisions, often due to conditions such as Dementia, mental retardation, or intellectual disabilities.
Types of Decision-Making Incapacity
- Incapacity occurs when a patient is clinically determined to be unable to make rational decisions, which can be caused by factors such as:
- Lack of consciousness
- Delirium
- Psychosis
Threat to Self or Others
- In psychiatric settings, a patient may be deemed a threat to themselves or others, which can impact their decision-making capacity.
Competence in Decision-Making
- Competence refers to a patient's intellectual capacity to:
- Understand information
- Analyze information
- Judge information
