Which of the following is NOT considered a patient's right in the healthcare setting?

A Right to receive informed consent before treatment

B Right to confidentiality of medical records

C Right to miss an appointment without notification

D Right to receive respectful and non-discriminatory care

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

- The correct answer is Right to miss an appointment without notification because patients are expected to inform healthcare providers if they cannot attend scheduled appointments.
- This ensures efficient management of resources and allows the provider to offer care to other patients.
- Unlike rights to informed consent, confidentiality, and respectful care, no patient right exists to miss appointments without prior notice.
- Maintaining communication is essential for quality care and system efficiency.
