C. a nurse taking a blood pressure in the exam room
D. a patient agrees to a test for HIV
E. a patient agrees to a chest x-ray
D. a patient agrees to a test for HIV
By giving consent, the patient gives permission, either expressed (orally or in writing) or implied, for the physician to examine him or her, to perform tests that aid in diagnosis, and/or to treat for a medical condition. When the patient makes an appointment for an examination, that patient has given implied consent for the physician to perform the exam. Likewise, when he or she cooperates with various diagnostic testing procedures, implied consent for the tests has been given. However, testing for HIV must have written consent from the patient.
