Study Notes
Four Phases of Clinical Trials
- Phase I: Initial testing of a new drug in a small group to evaluate safety, determine safe dosage, and identify side effects.
- Phase II: The drug is administered to a larger group to assess efficacy and further evaluate safety.
- Phase III: Conducted with large populations to confirm effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare with standard treatments, and gather data for safe usage.
- Phase IV: Post-marketing studies to collect information on drug effects across various populations and evaluate long-term side effects.
American Nurses Association Code of Ethics
- The ANA Code of Ethics provides guidance for nursing responsibilities, ensuring quality care and ethical standards in the profession.
Nurse’s Role in Clinical Research
- Nurses play a vital role in clinical research across different healthcare settings.
- Responsible for patient safety and the integrity of the research protocol.
Drug Standards and Drug Legislation
- The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) sets standards for drug dosage, forms, substances, and dietary supplements.
- Informed consent must include details on risks, benefits, alternative treatments, confidentiality, compensation, and voluntary participation.
- Patients can withdraw from the study at any time without penalty.
Initiatives to Combat Drug Counterfeiting
