Description
Using “The Belmont Report” respond to the following questions.
1. How does The Belmont Report distinguish between “practice” and “research”? Do you think the line is clear-cut?
2. What three main ethical principles are delineated in The Belmont Report? Please give a summary of each of them. Please address any exceptions or nuances in them. What should a researcher do to assure he/she/they has not violated an ethic?
3. summarize the three main “applications” discussed in The Belmont Report. Consider how they apply in a study. What should a researcher do to assure he/she/they has not violated an application?
4. Consider that you either have been asked to participate in a study (for example, collecting data relating to your patients) that you think is unethical, or you observe what you consider unethical behavior by a researcher. What do you think you would do? Imagine that you are in the position of Nbeing a Registered Nurse, and it is a physician (the medical director for the hospital!) on the unit who is the researcher. What are your responsibilities? And to whom?
