incapable patient


Explanation:
The American Medical Association (AMA), although endorsing the use of Therapeutic privilege in cases of emergency and imminent risk to the safety of the incapable patient, stated that in cases where there is no emergency it is ethically unacceptable to withhold information without the explicit consent of the patient17. Even on the basis of Law 219/2017 it would seem that there is no margin for the use of the instrument of therapeutic privilege since Italian law has clearly made the acquisition of a complete informed consent in all medical acts (including psychiatric acts) indispensable.

A patient who has the mental capacity to consent to medical treatment. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 defines a competent patient as one who is able to take a decision for himself, i.e. who can understand and retain the information relevant to the decision, weigh that information as part of the process of making the decision, and communicate that decision (s 3(1). The distinction between a competent patient and an incompetent patient is crucial: whereas consent is required before treating the former, it is not required from the latter. The wishes of a competent patient must be respected and he is entitled to refuse any medical intervention, even life-saving treatment. The Mental Capacity Act specifies that a medical professional should presume that a patient is competent unless there is evidence to the contrary: a person is not to be treated as incompetent merely because he makes an unwise decision (Re C (Adult: Refusal of Treatment) [1994] 1 FLR 31; Re B (Adult: Refusal of Medical Treatment) [2002] ...
