Concordance
Patients also have the right to refuse or be non-concordant with
treatment (NMC, 2008). The Mental
Capacity Act (2005), presumes all
adults to have adequate capacity
to decide on their own medical
treatment unless there is sufficient
evidence to suggest otherwise.
When patients have full physical and
mental capacity they can refuse to
be repositioned with assistance or
independently (Wilson, 2012).
It is vital, therefore, for nurses
to communicate with patients,
relatives and carers to ensure that
they are aware how any refusal of
treatment may impact on pressure
