Answer: A federally funded research study involving children 8 to 12 years old involves collecting a single voided urine sample to assess the frequency of asymptomatic proteinuria.

Your IRB has determined that assent of children age 8 and older is required for the study. A 10 year old firmly declined to participate in the study.

The best procedure that describes the action to be taken by the investigator is:

Honor the Childs decision .

Explanation:

The purpose of the IRB is to assure that appropriate steps are taken to protect the rights and welfare of humans participating as subjects in a research study. It promotes fully informed and voluntary participation by prospective subjects capable of making such choices (or, if that is not possible, informed permission given by a suitable proxy), and seeks to maximize the safety of subjects.

The capacity admits degrees. The same patient may be able to decide certain things and not others. So, the more transcendent or delicate a decision is, the higher the level of capacity required must be. When the patient is not capable, it is up to his relatives to make the decisions.

Which of the following did you include in your response? Check all of the boxes that apply. Women have two X chromosomes. Recess

Bond [772]

All of the statements are true.

The X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes of humans and some animals (the other sex chromosome is the Y chromosome). Men have a single X chromosome and women two X chromosomes.

Diseases whose gene is localized on the X chromosome are most often transmitted in the X-linked recessive mode; some are transmitted on the dominant mode related to the X.

In this mode of inheritance, the morbid allele behaves like a recessive trait.

Women heterozygotes are not affected but can transmit the disease; they are said to be conductive of the disease.

The disease is only manifested in male subjects (XY) with only one copy of the gene (hemizygous subjects)
