Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During phase II of investigational drug research, the nurse is responsible for monitoring the client for drug effects and adverse effects. Phase II involves testing the drug on a larger group of participants to further evaluate its safety and effectiveness. The nurse would not be responsible for monitoring drug purity and strength (this would be the responsibility of the research team), providing a partial list of contraindications (this would be the responsibility of the prescribing healthcare provider), or administering a placebo if the original drug is ineffective (this would not be ethical during a phase II study).
