Question

Patients need to know how long treatment will take, the number of visits and the length of each visit. For treatment that is estimated to take over a year, the consent should be written.

a. Both statements are true
b. Both statements are false
c. The first statement is true, the second statement is false
d. The first statement is false, the second statement is true

Answer 1

The correct answer is c. The first statement is true, the second statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c. The first statement is true, the second statement is false.

Patients do need to know how long treatment will take, the number of visits, and the length of each visit. This information is important for patients to make informed decisions about their treatment and to plan their schedules accordingly. However, the second statement, that written consent is required for treatment that is estimated to take over a year, is false. Informed consent is a necessary component of medical treatment, but there is no specific time threshold that determines when written consent is required.
