Answer to Question 1

A
Providing proof of liability (or fault) in malpractice or negligence cases requires the following four
factors: obligation created by law, contract, or standard practice that is owed to the complainant
(patient) by the professional (not the other way around); a breach of this obligation either by omission
or commission; physical, emotional, or financial harm to the complainant; and proof that the breach of
obligation caused the complainant harm.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse researcher will most likely conduct a meta-analysis. Correlation research explores the
interrelationship among variables of interest. A follow-up study is the subsequent or long-term study
of people who have received a specific treatment. A longitudinal study is designed to collect data at
more than one point in time, in contrast to a cross-sectional study.
