Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principle of beneficence requires that researchers minimize risks and maximize benefits for participants. In this case, Katherine is concerned about the potential risks associated with stopping medication and undergoing fMRI imaging, which suggests that she is considering the principle of beneficence in her research. The other principles (respect for persons, justice, and voluntariness) are not directly relevant to her concerns about the risks associated with her research design.
