1. Megan O'Connell volunteers to participate in a complex
research study that has several risks associated with it. When she arrives
to participate, she is told to read and sign a consent form. The researcher
in this study has followed the correct informed consent process.
The correct answer is: False
Megan should not be asked to sign a consent document on the day of the
study. The researcher should have talked with Megan before the study day,
giving her time to ask questions and to discuss her participation with
her family, friends, or religious leaders.
