1. Implied consent: Implied consent is assumed when a person is unable to give verbal consent due to being unconscious, incoherent, or unable to communicate. In these situations, a first aider may proceed with treatment based on the assumption that the person would consent if they were able to do so.
2. Expressed consent: Expressed consent is given verbally or through gestures by a conscious and coherent person. This type of consent is necessary before a first aider can proceed with treatment, as it ensures that the person is aware of and agrees to the care being provided.
3. Informed consent: Informed consent involves providing the person with all relevant information about the treatment being offered, including potential risks and benefits, alternative options, and the right to refuse treatment. The person must fully understand this information before giving consent for the first aider to proceed with treatment.

1. Expressed Consent
- The patient clearly and explicitly gives their permission for treatment.
- Obtained through verbal or written communication (e.g., signing a consent form).
2. Implied Consent
- The patient's actions or behavior can reasonably be interpreted as consenting to treatment.
- Example: A patient who extends their arm when asked to have their blood pressure taken.
3. Presumed Consent
- In emergencies where the patient is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to provide consent.
- First aiders are authorized to provide necessary treatment based on the assumption that the patient would consent if they were able to.
4. Substitute Consent
- Obtained from a third party, such as a legal guardian or healthcare proxy, when the patient is unable to give consent.
- Example: A first aider can obtain consent from a parent for a minor child.
5. Implied Consent by Law
- Granted by the law in certain situations, even if the patient is unable to provide consent.
- Example: In some jurisdictions, minors who are pregnant or have a sexually transmitted infection may receive treatment without parental consent.
It is important to note that:
- First aiders should always prioritize obtaining expressed consent whenever possible.
- If expressed consent cannot be obtained, first aiders should proceed with treatment based on other forms of consent.
- First aiders should document the type of consent obtained and any circumstances that made it necessary to proceed without expressed consent.
