A client has agreed to participate in a research study. Which action would constitute risk of harm to this client?
1. Withholding information about the study
2. Suggesting that participation would greatly benefit the client's financial situation
3. Giving the client false information about his or her participation
4. Providing the client's name as a participant in the study
Rationale: Risk of harm to a research subject is exposure to the possibility of injury, which could involve physical or psychological injury such as loss of confidentiality or loss of privacy. Withholding information or giving false information would be a violation of full disclosure. Participants should feel free from coercion or undue influence to participate in a study or this would be a violation against the right of self-determination.
