Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in which patients are asked to
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
recordany symptoms they experience while taking the drugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
collect and analyze the information to be shared with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
would not conduct research independently because nurses do not prescribe medications. Use of
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
animals in drug testing is done in the preclinical trials. Select patients who are involved in phase II
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
studies to participatein studies where the participants have the disease the drug is intended to treat.

These patients are monitored closely for drug action and adverse effects. Phase I studies involve

healthy human volunteerswho are usually paid for their participation. Nurses may observe for adverse
