Not sure where you obtained this question.The answer would depend on a number of factors.It would generally limit a patient from taking tortious action on assault or battery if validly obtained.Answer a is incorrect.I think c may be correct as volenti concept would probably apply to this scenario.

Answer b seems the most applicable, as I stated above, torts of assault and battery would not apply if consent obtained validly.
