Answer 1

a. He can withdraw at any time

Step-by-step explanation:

The informed consent law is designed to help an individual, in this case, Bill to make necessary decisions on his behalf. The law outlines that the person must be informed of all the treatment and information surrounding that and he can decide if he will accept this or not.

That said, there are four components of informed consent and they are:

• Be of sound mind in order to make the decision.
• Dr must inform you of the treatment and side effects in detail to allow you to make a decision
• Make sure that all the information given is completely understood
• There must not be any force applied when making this decision
