A chronically depressed patient has been asked to participate in a research project focus-ing on effectiveness of alternative therapies
The nurse determines that the patient has an appropriate understanding of the guidelines that directs a research project when he states (select all that apply):
a. "I hope they find a treatment that doesn't involve drugs."
b. "I plan to use all the money I get to pay off some of my bills."
c. "Helping to find a treatment for depressed people is a good thing."
d. "My doctor told me that I had a responsibility to get involved in this."
e. "I'm confident that this research project has very little risk involved."
ANS: A, C, E
Guidelines for informed consent require that the patient understands the purpose of the re-search, any risks and possible discomforts to the subject, and possible benefits to the indi-vidual or to others. It is most important to note that the research is voluntary and that it clearly reflects autonomy on the participants' part. Research subjects seldom receive payment for their involvement in the project.
