Your role in informed consent. Part 1.
As critical care nurses, we all participate in the informed consent process, whether for a routine procedure or surgery or for a research study or clinical trial. This first article of a 2-part series discusses the critical care nurse's role concerning informed consent for surgery or other invasive procedures, including nursing procedures. Part 2 will discuss the critical care nurse's role concerning informed consent for clinical trials.
