3208.5
. In a proceeding under this part:
(a) Where the patient has the capacity to consent to the
recommended health care, the court shall so find in its order.
(b) Where the court has determined that the patient has the
capacity to consent to the recommended health care, the court shall,
if requested, determine whether the patient has accepted or refused
the recommended health care, and whether the patient's consent to the
recommended health care is an informed consent.
(c) Where the court finds that the patient has the capacity to
consent to the recommended health care, but that the patient refuses
consent, the court shall not make an order authorizing the
recommended health care or designating a person to give consent to
the recommended health care. If an order has been made authorizing
the recommended health care and designating a person to give consent
to the recommended health care, the order shall be revoked if the
court determines that the patient has recovered the capacity to
consent to the recommended health care. Until revoked or modified,
the order is effective authorization for the recommended health care.
