NURS-330 legal and ethical issues in nursing
Please take the time to reflect on and discuss the two assigned articles with your fellow group members and respond to one of the following questions. Please post your response as well as your reply to one of your fellow group member’s posts online via Moodle.
1. Please discuss Corrigan’s notion that the idea of informed consent should be expanded from its current “’tight and limited’ focus”. Please identify some of the freedom limiting features that constrain the process of obtaining meaningful informed consent.
2. Do you agree with the Supreme Court’s decision in Starson v Swayze that Ontario’s Consent and Capacity Board should have based its decisions solely on Starson’s mental capacity rather than his best interests?
