A nurse is asked to administer an experimental drug as part of a clinical trial. The patient is hesitant and asks many questions. The nurse’s ethical responsibility is to ensure the patient has sufficient information to make an informed decision, which includes:

  • Coercing the patient to participate for the benefit of science.
  • Providing only positive information about the drug.
  • Explaining the study purpose, risks, benefits, alternatives, and right to withdraw without penalty, ensuring understanding.
  • Minimizing the risks to encourage participation.
