Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
Factors that increase a woman's risk of becoming a victim of IPV include exposure to abuse as a child, lower educational levels, and witnessing IPV between parents.
Alcohol abuse is associated with a risk of becoming a perpetrator of abuse.
Single-parent families do not have an increased risk of becoming victims of IPV.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Determining the viewpoint from which the analysis is written can give information as to possible biases.
An analysis of interventions that are not all effective produces a skewed report.
To be useful, there has to be a defined and clear clinical question that drove the analysis.
To fully critique an analysis, the nurse needs to know the type of analysis performed as well as its appropriateness to this study.
To be valid, the interventions have to be sensible and workable in the specific practice setting. Comparing interventions that don't work across all practice settings would not give the person reading the report useful information about the quality of the report.
