What is an essential feature of the informed consent process according to the Belmont Report?

Guarantee of benefit to participants
Informed consent is optional
Informed consent required and protection for those with diminished autonomy
Participants must be from diverse backgrounds

The correct answer is: Informed consent required and protection for those with diminished autonomy

The Belmont Report states that an essential feature of the informed consent process is that it is required and provides protection for those with diminished autonomy. This means that participants must be given all necessary information about the study and must give their voluntary consent without any external pressure. Option A is incorrect because the informed consent process does not guarantee benefit to participants, it only ensures their protection and understanding of the study. Option B is also incorrect because informed consent is not optional, it is a necessary and mandatory process in research involving human subjects. Option D is also incorrect because while diversity is important in research, it is not an essential feature of the informed consent process according to the Belmont Report.
