Hi,
Consent and capacity to respond are critical components without which a study can't be considered ethical.
In such a scenario, the only option would be exclude/delete the data collected from the respondent and not include the individual in the study.
Participants are free to withdraw at any given time for whatsoever reason/s. If this happens, their data should be excluded and deleted.
Their data/answers should be removed as this might show inconsistency in the data.
One of statement on consent form, should be that the participants are at will to withdraw from the study at any time frame. In the event of such desires, participants are free to exit and their data should be voided.
Consequently, explanations should be documented on such cases.
