Explanation:

A patient refers an individual receiving a medical care from a medical professional such as a doctors, nurses, etc.

Patient autonomy can be defined as a patient's right to make his or her own medical decisions.

This patient right do not include the right to get a particular (specific) treatment but rather it is the patient’s right to refuse any treatment he or she do not like (want) or to choose among the treatment options that are being presented (prescribed) by the medical professional.

Basically, patient autonomy can be classified into two (2) categories and these includes;

I. Right to consent: it includes the right of a patient to accept a particular treatment.

II. Right to refuse: this is the right of a patient to decline any treatment he or she is do not want.

Hence, patient autonomy describes a patient's right to give consent to a particular treatment or to refuse a treatment he (she) is not comfortable with, irrespective of the opinions of the medical professional.

the brain is the only thing in your body that sends messages to your body telling you to run. if you are a long distance runner and you have the mind set of a sprinter, you will not get anywhere. if you have a long distance mind set and you have to run 200m in 20 seconds then you will not make it in time.
