Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Nuremberg Code emphasizes the importance of avoiding harm to research participants. In this case, Stephanie should consider whether elderly people may be harmed by recalling traumatic events from their past. This consideration is central to the principles of the Nuremberg Code. While confidentiality (A) and vulnerability (C) are also important ethical considerations, they are not specifically central to the Nuremberg Code. The idea of classifying certain traumas as "evil" (D) is not an ethical consideration, but rather a subjective value judgment that is not relevant to this study.
