You have arrived on a scene where a car accident has taken place. How may an accident victim provide consent for aid?

In writing
By nodding
Verbally
All of the above

Explanation

Answer - D - Consent for aid by a patient can be given verbally, by nodding or gestures, or in writing. Expressed consent grants you the right to treat the patient. Understand that consent must be given. For example, even if a police officer calls the ambulance and states they will take responsibility for the patient to be transported to the hospital, you can be held liable for false imprisonment if you have not received expressed consent.
