A 9-month-old with glaucoma requires surgery. The infant’s parents are divorced. To
obtain informed consent, which action would be most appropriate?"



Correct -Actual Answers: D

Determine which parent has legal custody and obtain consent from that parent.



Feedback:-

When parents are divorced, only the parent with legal custody has the authority to provide
informed consent for medical procedures, unless the custody agreement states otherwise (e.g.,
joint legal custody). Health care providers must verify custody status before proceeding with
obtaining consent. This ensures that consent is legally valid.

a) Contacting the father for informed consent

b) Obtaining informed consent from the mother

c) Seeking a court ruling on the course of care

d) Determining sole or joint custody by the parents -Actual Answers: D

Feedback:- The most appropriate action would be to determine legal custody by court decree.
If the parents have joint custody, then either parent may give consent, but it is always best to
have consent given by ba boi rtbh. C opma/ t erset nts. The parent with only physical custody
may give consent for emergency care. The last resort is getting a court ruling; usually this is
not necessary unless the parents disagree about the care of the child.
