Question

T/F: A witness to the short form informed consent process must sign the IRB approved written summary of what was said to the subject, but not the short form itself.

Answer 1

The witness must sign both the IRB approved written summary and the short form in the short form informed consent process.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is False. In the short form informed consent process, the witness must sign both the IRB approved written summary of what was said to the subject and the short form itself.

The short form informed consent process is used when the subject of the research study is unable to read or understand the language in the consent form. In this process, a witness is present to explain the content of the informed consent form to the subject in a language they can understand. The witness must sign both the written summary of what was said and the short form to confirm that the information was accurately conveyed to the subject.
