Conscious. An unconscious victim is assumed to want first aid assistance, since they are incapable of giving consent.
Consent must be attained before a rescuer may touch a patient. Failure to do so can result in prosecution from the patient.Given consent - The adult, (18+), patient that is conscious can give consent directly but a parent or legal guardian must give consent for a conscious minor or a mentally handicapped patient.Implied consent - The unconscious patient can be helped without consent but a rescuer should ask / look for their next of kin first.Wiki User
