     3    (l)  Every  resident or, in the case of a person who lacks capacity to
     4  consent to his or her  health  care,  a  person  legally  authorized  to
     5  consent  on  behalf  of  the  resident, shall have the right to be fully
     6  informed by his or her physician,  or  other  health  or  mental  health
     7  provider of his or her medical condition and proposed medication, treat-
     8  ment and services, unless medically contraindicated, and to refuse medi-
     9  cation,  treatment  or services after being fully informed of the conse-
    10  quences of such actions; provided that an operator acting reasonably and
    11  in good faith, shall not be held liable or penalized for complying  with
    12  the  refusal of such medication, treatment or services by a resident or,
    13  in the case of a person who lacks capacity to  consent  to  his  or  her
