All subjects were asked whether they would be willing to participate in this descriptive study, while they waited to be seen by a gastroenterologist, prior to their initial colonoscopies.
 
  They were given basic information about the research and told that participation was strictly voluntary, according to guidelines from the institutional review board (IRB) for the clinics and hospital. The research had been approved as minimal risk by the IRB. All thirty-one subjects asked to participate agreed to do so. During the write-up of the study, the researcher should include this information about this process in which of the following sections?
  a. Abstract
  b. Introduction
  c. Methods
  d. Appendix

Question 2

Lazarus's coping paradigm suggests that it is the appraisal of a stressor as potentially harmful that begins the avoidance cascade.
 
  Thomason further characterized adaptations to management of chemotherapy symptomatology as mere reflections of a primary appraisal of potential harm, providing a set point for intensity of reactions. We used these conceptual connections to formulate testable assumptions for this study. Where in the research report would this quotation be located?
  a. Introduction
  b. Methods
  c. Results
  d. Discussion
