Institutional review boards (IRBs) exist to protect the rights and welfare of research participants. Critical care nurses and researchers may interface with IRBs directly or indirectly. Having an understanding of how the IRB process works will help nurses advocate for patients who may also be research participants and will help researchers facilitate approval of their research studies.
