event in the life of the family; and families are capable of making decisions about
their own care if given adequate information and professional support.

5. A 9-month-old with glaucoma requires surgery. The i na bfi ar b n. c to 'ms/ t eps at
rents are divorced. To obtain informed consent, which action would be
most appropriate?
A. Contacting the father for informed consent
B. Obtaining informed consent from the mother
ST

C. Seeking a court ruling on the course of care
D. Determining sole or joint custody by the parents

Answer: D
UV

Rationale: 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 o pm a/ 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
IA

about the care of the child.

especially in stressful situations."
C. "Mothers are the only family member affected by childbirth."
D. "Since childbirth is a medical procedure, it may affect everyone."
RO
