Informed Consent in Practice
Medical decision making can be an extremely challenging experience for patients and their loved ones. Balancing various potential outcomes with levels of risk can be daunting for someone who is also dealing with the emotional stresses of illness. Gaining the patients true informed consent is a critical step for health care professionals to ensure that the best decisions can be made.
Part 1: SPARK:
Consider your academic studies and personal and professional experiences to address the following two questions:
-What information do you think should be provided to a surgical patient prior to a surgical procedure?
-Do you healthcare professionals harm patients by causing anxiety and stress when they tell them about the risks associated with a surgical procedure? Why or why not?
Remember your response to the SPARK should be posted by itself and does not require any of the readings. However external sources as additional support are welcome.
To prepare for this weeks Discussion review this weeks Learning Resources paying particular attention to the Emanuel article What Makes Clinical Research Ethical?
Also review the Macklin article from Week 1 Applying the Four Priniciples before preparing and posting your discussion response.

Explain why you think this difference exists? Provide at least one clear example of how informed consent could be used in medical research and one example of how it is used in health care practice. Then provide an example of each of the four ethical principals in action in research. Use your textbook the articles in the Learning Resources and/or other credible resources to support your answer.
