When assisting in obtaining informed consent for a child, which of the following actions were taken? Select all that apply.

Choice A rationale

Adolescents are capable of abstract thinking and can participate in planning. This cognitive development allows them to understand the long-term consequences of their food choices and participate in planning their meals.

Choice B rationale

Adolescents are capable of understanding quantity of mass even if you change the shape. This is a cognitive ability typically developed during the concrete operational stage of cognitive development, which occurs between the ages of 7 and 1189.

Choice C rationale

Adolescents are capable of thinking critically about food choices. With the right guidance and information, they can make informed decisions about their diet.

Choice D rationale

Adolescents are capable of understanding in abstract terms, not just concrete terms. They can understand complex concepts and hypothetical scenarios, which can help them make informed decisions about their food choices.

Choice A rationale

Providing a detailed technical explanation using medical terminology is not an appropriate action when obtaining informed consent for a child. Medical terminology can be complex and difficult for non-medical professionals to understand. Therefore, it is important to explain the information in a way that is easy for the parents and the child (if appropriate) to understand.

Choice B rationale

Ensuring the parents were not pressured to give consent and the consent forms were provided is an appropriate action when obtaining informed consent for a child. It is important that the decision to consent is made freely and without coercion.

Choice C rationale

Explaining the potential adverse effects and benefits is an appropriate action when obtaining informed consent for a child. Parents must be fully informed about the potential risks and benefits of a procedure or treatment to make an informed decision.

Choice D rationale

Providing alternative options for treatment and explaining the possible risks of negative outcomes is an appropriate action when obtaining informed consent for a child. Parents should be aware of all available treatment options and their potential outcomes to make an informed decision.
