Which of the following is considered part of professional conduct in chiropractic practice?

Offering discounts to all patients
Making informed consent clear
Requesting extra fees for certain treatments
Celebrating patient referrals

The correct answer is: Making informed consent clear

Making informed consent clear is a fundamental aspect of professional conduct in chiropractic practice. Informed consent is about ensuring that patients are fully aware of the nature of the treatment, the potential risks, benefits, and alternatives before they agree to proceed. It emphasizes the right of patients to make autonomous decisions about their healthcare based on comprehensive information. This process fosters trust between the practitioner and the patient and is ethically and legally required to protect patient rights and promote shared decision-making. While offering discounts, requesting extra fees, and celebrating referrals can be seen as business strategies or marketing practices, they do not directly align with the ethical obligations of informed consent. Informed consent prioritizes patient understanding and autonomy, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of the chiropractic profession and ensuring the best outcomes for patients.
