C

Explanation:

The investigator should give the subject comprehensive information about the new drug, including its side effects, discuss the pros and cons of both investigational drug and commercially available drug and then allow the subject to decide whether to withdraw from the research to take the new drug.

It is subject's will that he would either take that research treatment or would try the new treatment, but it is the investigator's duty to tell the subject all about the new drug, about its side effects and benefits, its costs and all other benefits or drawbacks.  

(C) Give the subject comprehensive information about the new drug, including its side effects, discuss the pros and cons of both investigational drug and commercially available drug and then allow the subject to decide whether to withdraw from the research to take the new drug.

Explanation:

Whenever a study is done the researcher must follow ethical and moral values and always value the health and health of the study participants. In the case shown in the question above, the study participant has a serious illness and is testing the effects of a drug being produced by the researcher. When a new drug appears that may have the same or better effects than the one being produced, the researcher must be ethical and act to allow the well-being of the study participant. For this reason, the researcher should provide the participant with comprehensive information about the new drug, including its side effects, discuss the pros and cons of the experimental drug and the commercially available drug, and allow the participant to decide whether or not to withdraw from the research for further research. take the new medicine.

the correct answer is c

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
