Practice question
An employer’s general mental-health memo says participation in an information session automatically counts as informed consent to every later treatment plan. The employee has not received the required disclosure or given treatment consent, and no lawful exception applies. Which is correct?
- A general information-session attendance record does not itself establish informed consent to the treatment.
- Any workplace attendance authorizes all treatment.
- Only the employer’s signature is needed.
- Support programs eliminate service-user rights.
- Every employee loses the right to participate in care decisions.
