Authentic Assessment: Informed Consent

This week you will create an informed consent form that could be used with clients to notify them of their rights and responsibilities.

Write a word essay addressing informed consent. Be sure to completely answer all the questions for each bullet point. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper. Support your ideas with at least three (3) sources in your essay. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover page and reference page do not count toward the minimum word amount. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.

Create a sample informed consent document that could be utilized in an advisor capacity. Begin by doing an Internet search to examine sample documents (the search term informed consent for guidance brings up a variety of options); you may utilize any of the samples you find as the basis for crafting your own document. In most cases, you will discover that you will find relevant components from a variety of different samples that you will want to piece together to fit your needs.

As you create your informed consent, keep the following questions in mind:

• How would you inform your clients of their rights and responsibilities?
• What are some of the themes of the ethics codes with respect to the rights of clients?
• From an ethical perspective, why is informed consent of paramount importance?
• From a legal perspective, what are the three elements involved in adequate informed consent? Define these terms: capacity, comprehension of information, and voluntariness.

You do NOT need to answer these questions specifically, rather you should keep them in mind as key issues as you create your informed consent
