Several children arrived at the emergency department accompanied only by their fathers. Which father may legally sign emergency medical consent for treatment?
1. The divorced one from the binuclear family
2. The stepfather from the blended or reconstituted family
3. The divorced one when the single-parent mother has custody
4. The nonbiologic one from the heterosexual cohabitating family
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: The divorced father from the binuclear family may sign informed consent because he has equal legal rights with the mother under joint-custody arrangements. The nonbiologic stepfather from the blended or reconstituted family, the divorced biologic father when the single-parent mother has custody, and the nonbiologic father from the heterosexual cohabitating family are without legal authority to seek emergency medical care for the child.
