10. B
Providing ongoing training and real-time feedback helps clinical staff maintain high standards of documentation and regulatory compliance.

11. C
Both the clinical protocol and the informed consent document must be reviewed and approved before a clinical trial can begin.

12. D
The IRB’s role is to ensure participant safety by reviewing and approving study protocols before the trial begins.

13. B
Informed consent is a voluntary agreement made by participants after being fully informed about the nature of the trial and its risks.

14. B
Adverse events must be reported immediately to regulatory authorities to ensure the safety of participants and maintain compliance with regulations.

15. B
