Final answer:

The validity of a consent in medical treatment depends on certain conditions and exceptions. In general, a consent remains valid unless there is a significant change in the patient's condition or it is revoked by the patient. Parents can provide consent on behalf of children who are not deemed competent to consent. Correct option is a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Medicine. The question is asking about the validity period of a consent in a patient's medical treatment unless there is a significant change in the patient's condition or unless revoked by the patient.

In medical practice, a consent is typically valid until there is a significant change in the patient's condition or until the patient revokes it. Therefore, the correct answer is a) 60 days as none of the other options align with the general practice of medical consent.

It is important to note that for children, their parents can provide consent on their behalf as the children are not considered competent to provide consent for themselves.
