Informed consent involves three elements: information, understanding, and volunteering. Describe how the intent of informed consent can be compromised by limitations in any one of these three elements
What will be an ideal response?
If participants are not given complete or accurate information about a study, then they are not "informed" and cannot give informed consent. Also, if the information is presented in a form that the participants cannot fully understand (for example, overly technical terminology), then they are not "informed" and cannot give informed consent. Finally, if individuals are coerced or pressured into participating, then they are not truly volunteering (consenting) and therefore are not giving informed consent.
