Why would a patient consent to a medical procedure?

Forced to by relatives
Believes the healthcare professional has the knowledge to perform
Has no other options
It's free of charge

The correct answer is: Believes the healthcare professional has the knowledge to perform

A patient would consent to a medical procedure because they believe that the healthcare professional has the necessary knowledge and skills to properly perform the procedure. Option A, being forced by relatives, is incorrect because consent must come from the patient themselves, not from outside sources. Option C, having no other options, is incorrect because patients always have the choice to refuse a procedure, even if it may have negative consequences for their health. Option D, the procedure being free of charge, is incorrect because the cost of the procedure should not be a factor in a patient's decision to consent, as their well-being should be the primary consideration.
