Why is it Important for Nurses to Read Study Protocols?
Nurses are directly involved in patient care and often serve as the primary point of contact for participants in clinical studies. Reading and understanding study protocols help nurses to:
Ensure patient safety and adherence to ethical standards. Accurately follow the procedures and interventions outlined in the study. Provide clear and accurate information to patients and their families. Identify and report any adverse events or deviations from the protocol. Contribute to the overall integrity and success of the research study.
