abstract: Awareness of the legal and ethical parameters of nursing practice is a necessity for nurses in all nursing roles, but some of these same legal and ethical considerations take on an increased significance in the area of clinical research. The most predominant legal issue in the research field in terms of both litigation and legal commentary is the issue of informed consent.
