Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A human subject is defined as a living individual about whom an investigator conducting research obtains (1) data through intervention or interaction with the individual or (2) identifiable private information (Office of Human Research Protection, 2008, para. 3). Interventions may include procedures such as gathering diagnostic information or manipulating the subject's environment. Interaction refers to any communication or contact during the research. Private information includes anything not expected to be made public, such as a medical record.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Research participants require an explanation of the study in which they are subjects. Any information provided needs to be in a language that is understandable to them. Procedures and the purpose of the study need to be explained. The manner in which subject anonymity and confidentiality will be protected needs to be explained. Any potential harm, including physical or mental discomfort, and possible benefits from participation should be explained. Questions should be answered so that participants fully understand the research and their part in the process. All subjects need to be given time to decide about participation. Study participants are voluntary, may withdraw at any time, or may choose not to complete tasks.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.

Did you know?

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
