Answer: B - An informed consent form must be signed by each patient before they start the study. This is to ensure each patient knows the purpose of the study and what they should expect from the study, to include the potential risks and/or benefits. The patient's signature on the form is required and shows that they have been informed of this information. Some of the other forms listed may be required for a particular study, but are not required for every study.
