Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As part of supporting clinical trials in patients with cancer, a RN would be expected to educate the patients about the treatment, its side effects, and alternative therapies, ensure that informed consent to participate is obtained, and document patient and family understanding related to the trial. Providing payment to the patient for participation in the trial is not a typical role for a RN, and ordering medications from the pharmacy based on patients' height and weight may be a part of the role, but not specific to supporting clinical trials.
