Best Answer

If the patient is unconscious or mentally ill etc and no guardian or family is there to sign for them the doctor have to do what he thinks is best. But if the person is awake and understand only he or his family/guardian if he is a minor, can sign. The question is asked in a very general form so that is the only way I can answer.
