The primary purpose of seeking “informed consent” is to:
  1. Eliminate all potential for future liability
  2. Explain risks or dangers associated with an exercise program or test
  3. Standardize the paperwork that class participants must complete
  4. Eliminate the need for completing an incident report
Explanation
Answer: B - The primary purpose of seeking informed consent is to explain dangers associated with an exercise program or testing procedure prior to participation. By outlining the major risks of participation, the instructor provides the opportunity to make wise and informed choices, including the option to opt-out of an activity. Instructors should always follow their facility’s protocol if a participant is injured, including the completion of an incident report, even if the participant consented to the activity. Class participants who consent are not barred from suing if injured.
