Answer to Question 1

B
The main difference between the two programs of study is that the research-focused programs (PhD and DNSc) produce scholars who are capable of generating new knowledge, but the practice-focused programs (DNP) produce highly specialized practitioners who use knowledge in the clinical setting. The DNSc program is gradually being phased out.
Both types of doctoral programs have cognate core courses.
The DNP programs do prepare their graduates in highly skilled systems thinking, but the research-focused programs do not restrict their emphasis to the creation of new systems.
Tool generation may be part of a research study but is not necessarily a component.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Battery is physical contact with another person without that person's consent. Physical striking or beating is battery. Assault is a threat or an attempt to do bodily harm. Assault includes physical or verbal intimidation. A gesture that the client may perceive as a threat is an assault if the client believes that force or injury may follow. The right to privacy means that a client has the right to expect that his or her property will be left alone. Healthcare individuals may be charged with trespassing, illegal search and seizure, or releasing private information (even if the information is true). False imprisonment or restraint of movement may be charged in certain situations, such as the use of unnecessary restraints or solitary confinement. By law, a person cannot be restrained against his or her will unless the person has been convicted of a crime or a court order exists permitting restraint. False imprisonment may be a result of either physical or chemical limitations.
