Decision-Making and Capacity Assessment

This video depicts a patient experiencing memory and thinking changes while discussing treatment options. The dentist performs an assent procedure to evaluate whether the patient understands available treatment options and the risks/benefits of intervention. The dentist engages the patient’s care partner to facilitate shared decision-making and make the best choice for the patient.

I wouldn't know how to answer either, because he just explained "why." My first reaction would be that he wants a different answer from what he just said. If he asked me to repeat what he said, I would know what to say. But that's just me.
