Therefore, when a true emergency exists, health care facilities have the implied consent of a minor child with a head injury to render the necessary emergency treatment. Informed consent for minor children with head injuries becomes problematic when the minor child turns 18 years old while a patient at a facility. At that age, he or she is considered an adult and, for purposes of medical treatment, is presumed competent to give consent. Nevertheless, in circumstances in which a young head-injured patient over 18 years is incapable by reason of his or her mental disability to provide consent, a guardian should be appointed.
