Question 5 of 5
Which of the following factors can impact an individual's ability to give informed consent?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pain medications might alter alertness, thought processes, and reactions. It is recommended that a client be approached for consent at least 4 hours after the last dose of pain medicine to allow minimal impact. IQ and educational levels might have a bearing on how information is presented through the discussion process, but they do not have a bearing on informed-consent decision-making.
