Answer to Question 1

B
A tort can be denial of a person's legal right, failure to comply with a public duty, or failure to perform
a private duty that results in harm to another. By ignoring a summons to appear for jury duty, the
nurse is in violation of a tort law.

Answer to Question 2

B
Quantitative analysis is the manipulation of numeric data through statistical procedures for the purpose
of describing phenomena or assessing the magnitude and reliability of relationships among them. A
qualitative analysis is the organization and interpretation of non-numeric data for the purpose of
discovering important underlying dimensions and patterns of relationships. Meta-analysis is a
procedure for quantitatively combining the results of many research studies that measure the same
outcome into a single pooled or summary estimate of the results, and an integrative review is a type of
evidence summary.
