Question

Choose the term that best matches the description given

Children do not meet this description and must be given special protection in human research studies

a/ successful
b/autonomous
c/healthy
d/dependent

Answer 1

Answer: b/autonomous

Explanation: A child has their major decisions (like medicine, or research) taken care of by their parents or the person taking care of them. Autonomous means that you have the ability to make your own decisions and children don't have that in being a research subject. Dependent means under the care of someone so since children meet that description, this doesn't fit. Neither does successful, which isn't a requirement in human research. Healthy doesn't fit as some children are healthy and some are not.

Answer 2

Autonomous

Step-by-step explanation:

This means self-governing. Adults are independent and have autonomy and anyone under 18 in the U.S. is not and does not. Children do not have full legal control over themselves and cannot do certain things without parental consent and are therefore given special protection in studies.
