Any invasive medical procedure needs informed consent from the patient, which means he or she is fully aware of the reasons for doing it, what the expected results are, and any complications that may occur. The facility you work at may have their own procedures for documenting consent, and you should follow those. Patients that are unconscious or unable to understand or speak for themselves, and in absence of advance orders to the contrary, may be treated under the doctrine that a reasonable person would give their consent if able.
