Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The sample is the most accessible group of the population. For this research question the most accessible group of the population would be patients with diabetes. Patients may have foot ulcers but not have diabetes. There is no reason for the nurse to study patients without foot ulcers.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

The dependent variable is the presumed effect from the manipulation of the independent variable. In other words, the dependent variable is often the outcome of interest. The conceptual variable defines the qualities of the variable of interest. The operational variable describes how a variable is measured. The independent variable is the reason for the change in the outcome.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
