Definition from own experience or research:
Informed consent is more than simply getting a patient to sign a written consent form. It is a process of communication between a patient and physician that results in the patient&#039;s authorization or agreement to undergo a specific medical intervention<br /><br />most consent cases generally center around whether the consent was &quot;informed&quot;, i.e., whether the patient was given sufficient information to make a decision regarding his or her body and health care.
Example sentences:
Some acts cannot legally take place because of a lack of informed consent. In cases where an individual is considered unable to give informed consent, another person is generally authorized to give consent on his behalf (wikipedia)
