PTCE Pharmacy Technician

Answer: D - There is not a requirement for patients to be paid for their participation in a clinical trial. Patients who participate in clinical trials do so voluntarily, by their own choice. While some studies do pay patients for their participation, or compensate them for expenses, there is not a requirement that payment is made. Further, it is important that patients can choose freely to participate, without feeling that they were coerced to participate by receiving payment.
