Question 1 of 5
Who may legally give informed consent?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is a 14-year-old girl needing an appendectomy who is not an emancipated minor. Informed consent can be given by individuals who are competent and not minors. Minors are generally unable to provide informed consent unless they are emancipated.
Choice A is incorrect because an 86-year-old male with advanced Alzheimer's disease is considered incompetent to make decisions.
Choice D is incorrect because a 6-month-old baby is unable to provide consent. Emancipated minors are an exception to the minor rule, as they can provide consent for their own treatment.
