Answer 1

Answer:b. Question Jane concerning whether she fully understands the study and remind her that she can withdraw at any time and still receive services from the clinic without penalty.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is always good to assure the participants that their participation in a survey is not forced so that what ever opinions they give they don't feel like they are forced to do so but the client should know it is at their own will without being coerced to do so.
