Which item is not found on a consent form?

• A. Signatures
• B. Guaranteed results
• C. Medical history
• D. Date

Answer: (B)

Consent forms document informed permission for a procedure, so they include information that helps a patient decide and verifies who is agreeing and when. That means you’ll typically see spaces for the patient’s or guardian’s signature and the date, confirming that the person agrees and when that agreement was given. Medical history or relevant health information is often included or collected to identify factors that could affect safety or choice of treatment. What would not fit on a consent form is promising or guaranteeing a specific outcome; medical results can vary, and guaranteeing them would be misleading. That’s why guaranteed results isn’t found on a consent form.
