Article 10.5 17_ CODE OF MEDICAL DEONTOLOGY - When the information includes data of seriousness or poor prognosis, the doctor must try to transmit it sensitively. Faced with an exceptional situation in which harm to the patient derived from the information is foreseen, the doctor must consider the opportunity and the moment of communicating it. In this case, he must record, in the clinical history, the use of therapeutic privilege and the reasons for it. Article 10.6 Information should be directly provided to the patient. The people related to the patient will also be informed, for family or factual reasons, to the extent that the patient expressly or tacitly allows it. A doctor must respect the patient's right not to be informed, recording this in the medical record, as well as the patient's right to revoke a previously issued consent. Article 10.7 A doctor must respect the patient's convictions and refrain from imposing their own. Article 10.8 A doctor must respect the patient's right to freely decide on the indicated and available clinical options, after receiving adequate information and having understood its meaning and scope.
