Quiz: Caregivers 

Quiz: Caregivers
The court has recently placed your adult relative under tutorship. After a serious fall, the medical team suggests hip surgery.
1. If the medical team believes your relative fully understands the situation, it will be up to him or her to decide if they accept the operation.

Correct answer!

Wrong answer!

Even if a person is under tutorship or a protection mandate, they can still consent to medical treatment if they understand their condition, the treatment options, and the risks.
If they are unable to give consent, a loved one can give consent on their behalf, according to specific rules.
