Article 10.2 _16 CODE OF MEDICAL DEONTOLOGY - A doctor has a duty to assess the patient's ability to understand information and make decisions during the informed consent process. A doctor must pay special attention to ensure that patients with comprehension difficulties participate in the care process to the extent that their decision-making capacity allows it. Article 10.3 This information will include the risks derived from the disease itself and the side effects of the interventions that are proposed to be carried out, as well as the alternatives known and supported by scientific evidence. The doctor responsible for the patient is the one who will guarantee compliance with their right to information. The professionals who care for the patient during the care process or apply a specific technique or procedure will also be those responsible for informing them. Article 10.4 A doctor must inform the patient in an understandable manner, truthfully, thoughtfully and prudently. As a general rule, the information will be sufficient and necessary, including the risks inherent to the proposed health intervention, so that the patient can make decisions. This information must be recorded in the medical history, including the fact that the patient's understanding of the content of the information has been verified.
