The Infusion Nurse’s Role in Clinical Trials

Recorded On: 06/05/2022

Medical research is conducted through clinical trials in which new medications, devices, treatments, and tests are studied for their safety and effectiveness on human health. These trials are an essential step in bringing new products to health care and the nurse plays in integral part in the clinical trial process whether as a researcher, study coordinator, clinical trial nurse, or staff nurse. Often there is a knowledge gap within the nursing profession as to how a new medical treatment made its way to the bedside either as part of a study or as an approved treatment. In this session, we will discuss the clinical trial process and the nurse’s role within the process.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, learners will be able to:

  1. Discuss bioethics-associated clinical research on human participants
  2. Describe the 4 stages of clinical trials
  3. Identify at least 5 types of clinical trials
  4. Identify barriers to successful clinical trials
  5. Define the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) role in clinical trials
  6. Articulate the importance of the nurse’s role in clinical trials
