The duty to inform the patient or research subject for the purpose of obtaining "informed" consent. This duty is related to assessment of risks. This is so because assessment of risk defines some of the factual content of the information which must be imparted and, in the therapeutic situation, may affect the extent of the duty to inform. The duty to inform the patient is also part of the fiduciary duty of a doctor, that is, part of the doctor's special duty of care and trustworthiness. 3, record 1, English, - duty%20to%20inform
