What is research? - CORRECT ANSWER Research is thoughtful,
planned activity that expands or
refines knowledge.

graphically or on a smaller
scale.

The researcher's informed consent form stated that the
patients' information would be anonymous. Later, in the
application form for IRB approval, the researcher described
a coding system to track respondents and nonrespondents.
The IRB returned the application to the researcher with
the stipulation that the informed consent be changed. What
raised the red flag? - CORRECT ANSWER The discrepancy between
the researcher's use of the
term "anonymous" in the informed consent and the
researcher's intent to track respondents. Anonymity
demands that the researcher not link the response and
the responder. The code would link the respondents to
their data, so their data would no longer be anonymous.
What is the Common Rule? - CORRECT ANSWER The Common Rule is
the set of regulations that stipulate the protection of human subjects in federally
funded
research under 18 agencies.
