I'd go with option E. Ten years seems like a reasonable timeframe to keep the form on record.

Haha, option A is like saying I should keep my gym membership card forever, even after I've canceled it. Definitely not the right answer here.

I'm leaning towards option D. The form should be kept until it's revoked by the individual, not a set number of years.

I think option E makes sense, keeping it for 10 years from the date it was signed provides a clear timeframe.

But what if the individual never revokes it? Shouldn't there be a time limit?

Option C seems to be the most logical choice. The authorization form should be kept for as long as the patient's records are kept, not indefinitely or for a specific number of years.

That makes sense, we should always align the retention of authorization forms with the retention of patient records.

In that case, we should retain the authorization form indefinitely as well.
