Which action is not an element of informed consent?

Explanation:
Informed consent centers on making sure the patient understands what will be done, the risks involved, and the available alternatives, and that their agreement is voluntary. The action not part of this framework is confidentiality. Confidentiality relates to protecting the patient’s private information, not to the decision to undergo a specific procedure. You should disclose what the procedure involves (nature of information), the potential risks, and the available alternatives so the patient can make an informed choice, while privacy protections are handled separately.
