Why Do We Give Informed Consent For A Research Study
Reflection
1. In your opinion, what are two important lessons we have learned from the past where ethics in research is concerned?
It’s my opinion when it comes to research that the participants should be informed as much as possible. I also take in consideration the double-blind studies, and the control groups. I think it is criminal what some of the people have done in the past to innocent children, and adults who had no say that they wanted to be part of any experiment let alone permanently damaged because of the experiment. I also think that there should be a governing board or panel that would check to see if it is OK before allowing any type of experiment. Some sort of a check and balance system that would prevent some deranged mad scientist from carrying out some wild experiment that he thought was best.
2. How does this apply to you as a practicing (or soon to be practicing) nurse?
I have never held a job that had anything to do with research or an experiment that would …show more content…
Is consenting for a medical procedure the same or different than consenting for a research study? I have never been part of the research experiment or seen the consent for a research experiment, so I have no opinion to offer.
4. Do you believe we give informed consent for medical procedures, proper attention and respect? No I don’t believe that we give consent its proper attention. I think it’s partly due to the time that is allotted to have the consenting properly explained. If there was ever a lawsuit filed the consent would probably become an exhibit of evidence, and thereby an official document in that case. That patient signature signifies that they release all rights spelled out in that consent. I think if we would look at it as if it was going to end up in a court of law, and that patient that sign the consent agreed all the risks that they faced for the surgery or procedure. I’m sure at that point the patient in hindsight would have wanted to have every word explained to
