What is the legal significance of 'consent' in the context of treatment?

Indicates a client's unwillingness to receive treatment

Means a client is willing and legally able to give permission for treatment

In the context of treatment, consent refers to a client's willingness and legal ability to give permission for treatment. Option A is incorrect because it refers to the lack of consent, which would result in treatment being prohibited. Option C is incorrect because assent is a term used to describe a minor's agreement to receive treatment, while consent refers to the legal ability of an individual to make decisions about their own care. Option D is incorrect because temporary agreement does not take into account the necessary legal aspects of consent, and may not result in a valid and legally binding decision.
