AB Informed  consent  is  the  legal  standard  under  which  providers  educate  patients  (those  who  have  the  capacity  to  make  medical  decisions  or  their  surrogates)  about  proposed  treatments  and  alternatives.1  The  desirability  of  informed  consent  is  based  on  the  belief  that  it  fosters  the  twin  concepts  of  patient  well-being  and  autonomy.  Informed  consent  also  provides  a  legal  basis  for  autonomy.
