This article considers legal and ethical aspects of consent, as well as the need for consent to be a communication process that informs patients about procedures. Recent examinations of the use of agents (such as nurses and allied health professionals) in securing consent are discussed. While there is a clear role for nonphysician health care workers in advocating for the patient and assuring that consent has been secured; their actual role in securing consent in the absence of a physician is less clear.
