As you read about patient rights, describe one patient right that is often not fully implemented in the patient care environment.

Identify specific strategies to help ensure that this right is supported within the patient care environment.

Explain how the registered nurse can assist in protecting patient rights.

The informed consent process may include different types of materials such as the form that people must sign, project fact sheets that explain the study, and flyers or posters that tell about the study.

Documents must be in the local language, use local terms, and be written for a language level that potential participants can easily understand.
Concepts, images, and support materials in general should be appropriate to the local community.
Translations should be accurate, of high quality, and be verified by back-translations.
It is strongly advised that materials and forms be tested for appropriateness before they are used in screening or actual enrollment. This practice, called pilot-testing, involves a person who knows the materials and uses them with someone who is very similar to the individuals to be recruited for the study. Based on results from this test, the materials may need to be revised to make them more understandable.
Community representatives can help the research team develop these materials.Westcoast_nurs521 Discuss the elements of informed consent

Developing or selecting the information to be included in the informed consent process is very important. The process benefits from the involvement of community representatives and usually includes an 8-point framework:

Description of the research and the role of the participant, including an explanation of all procedures relevant to the participant
Description of reasonably foreseeable risks
Description of expected benefits
Alternatives to participation, such as other studies or services in the area
Explanation of confidentiality
Explanation of compensation for injuries or health problems resulting from participation in the study
Whom to contact about the research if the participant has questions or concerns
Explanation that participation is voluntary
