Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Beneficence is the duty to do good and to not harm others. Once a serious adverse effect is noted in a majority of subjects, researchers have an ethical obligation to stop the study.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
All participants have the right to autonomy, which is the right to self-determination. Patients have the right to refuse to participate or to withdraw from a study at any time without penalty even if the health care provider disagrees with that choice.
