Answer to Question 1

A
When a patient is injured or dies as a result of a nurse's conduct, the nurse may be charged with professional negligence.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Corpus luteum cysts form when the corpus luteum becomes cystic or hemorrhagic and fails to degenerate after 14 days. Typically these cysts appear after ovulation and resolve without intervention. Biopsy would be indicated if a malignancy was suspected. Oral contraceptives and Glucophage would be used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome.
