What should occur if the patient cannot give informed consent? If the patient is determined to be incapacitated/incompetent to make health care decisions, a surrogate decision maker must speak for her. There is a specific hierarchy of appropriate decision makers defined by state law (also see the DNR topic page).

Several exceptions to the requirement for informed consent include (1) the patient is incapacitated, (2) life-threatening emergencies with inadequate time to obtain consent, and (3) voluntary waived consent.
In practice, procedures that are likely to require signed consent include: Treatment with high-risk medications, such as opioids. Tests and medical interventions that go inside your body, such as endoscopy. Childbirth interventions, such as forceps delivery or episiotomy.
When a physician fails to obtain informed consent from a patient who would not have opted to undergo a particular treatment with full knowledge of the risks, the patient may have grounds to sue the physician for malpractice based on the lack of informed consent.
