Abstract

Individuals who participate in treatment or research protocols should perceive that their decision is a free choice and that they are acting of their own accord. However, these persons may feel as if they are being pressured to participate in the protocol being described. The author discusses the two components of consent: voluntariness and authorization and offers suggestions to nurses to fulfill their moral responsibility to be patient advocates.
