Question: 1 / 445

According to the Mature Minor Doctrine, what factors determine if a minor may consent to medical procedures?

Age and school grade

Parental approval

Age, maturity, experience, intelligence

The Mature Minor Doctrine states that a person under the age of 18 may be considered mature enough to give consent for medical procedures if they possess a combination of age, maturity, experience, and intelligence. This means that neither their age nor their school grade alone can determine their level of maturity and ability to make informed decisions regarding their medical care. Parental approval is also not sufficient for a minor to consent to medical procedures without the other factors mentioned. Insurance status is also not relevant in determining a minor's ability to consent to medical procedures.
