What action should the person obtaining consent do in the short form consent process?

  1. Sign the long form consent

  2. Give a verbal summary only

  3. Sign the summary

  4. Recite the IRB guidelines

The correct answer is: Sign the summary

In the short form consent process, the person obtaining consent should give a verbal summary of the key points and information about the study, and then have the participant sign the summary. This is done in order to provide a clear and concise understanding of the study to the participant, while still obtaining their consent. Signing the long form consent (A) or reciting the IRB guidelines (D) are not necessary in the short form process and may be confusing for the participant. Giving a verbal summary only (B) is incomplete and does not obtain formal consent from the participant. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate and accurate choice.
