Question 70 · LDEK · Consent and treatment without consent
Examining patients and providing health services without patient’s consent are allowed if the dentist:
- A. obtained the permission to do so from their superior.
- B. let the manager of the appropriate health facility know about those activities.
- C. let the provincial consultant in relevant field of medicine know about those activities.
- D. is giving a necessary service to a person whose age and health condition preclude them from expressing their opinion on the treatment.
- E. obtained the permission from the hospital ethics committee or the central ethics committee in the Ministry of Health.
Hint
Treatment without consent is a narrow statutory exception based on urgency and the patient's inability to decide, not on anyone's permission.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
