Question: 1 / 215

If a detainee refuses treatment, which document does NOT need to be completed?

DD Form 93

In scenarios where a detainee refuses treatment, the requirement for documentation primarily revolves around ensuring that the detainee's decision is well-informed and that their rights are respected. The DD Form 93 is designed for recording emergency contact information and medical history for service members rather than directly documenting decisions related to treatment refusals in a detainee context.

In contrast, the medical treatment consent form and the informed consent document are essential to capture the detainee's understanding of their treatment options and the risks of refusing treatment. These documents ensure that the detainee's autonomy is respected and that there is a clear understanding of what refusing treatment entails. The detainee treatment record documents all medical interactions, which would logically include notes about treatment refusals, making its completion necessary in these contexts.

Therefore, the DD Form 93 does not need to be completed in the event of a treatment refusal, as it does not pertain specifically to medical treatment decision-making in detainee operations.
