The nurse is assessing for adverse effects in a group of volunteers receiving a medication. In which phase of drug development is the nurse working?

clinical phase 1 trials
clinical phase 2 trials
clinical phase 3 trials
preclinical investigation

The correct answer is: clinical phase 1 trials

The correct answer is A. clinical phase 1 trials. During clinical phase 1 trials, the medication is tested on a small group of healthy individuals to evaluate its safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics. Nurses play a critical role in monitoring these volunteers for any adverse effects that may occur as a result of the medication. This phase helps researchers determine a safe dosage range for further testing in subsequent phases of drug development. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not specifically involve the assessment of adverse effects in volunteers receiving the medication.
