A PMHNP is invited as a co-investigator in a research study. Several potential participants are current patients of the PMHNP. What is the primary ethical concern?
A
No concern — the PMHNP's familiarity with patients makes them an ideal recruiter
B
The dual role of treating clinician and researcher creates a conflict of interest. Patients may feel coerced to participate. An independent recruitment and consent process should be established to protect voluntariness
C
The only concern is financial — ensure no financial incentive for enrolling patients
D
The PMHNP can recruit their own patients if the study has IRB approval
