Question 2

The client who is experiencing a chronic disease tells the nurse that the client read an article about funding for the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) and wondered why the Congress would fund such an organization.
 
  The best response by the nurse is: 1. The goals of the NINR to promote health and prevent disease are in line with national goals for health care..
   2. Funding the NINR is one cause of health cost increases in the country..
   3. The government is looking to the NINR for information about promoting health..

Answer to Question 1

4. Providing the client's name as a participant in the study

Rationale:
Risk of harm to a research subject is exposure to the possibility of injury, which could involve physical or psychological injury, such as loss of confidentiality or loss of privacy. Withholding information or giving false information would be violations of full disclosure. Participants should feel free from coercion or undue influence to participate in a study or this would be a violation against the right of self-determination.

Answer to Question 2

1. The goals of the NINR to promote health and prevent disease are in line with national goals for health care..

Rationale:
In an effort to contain cost and increase the quality of care, the Congress would elicit the assistance of an agency such as NINR to conduct research projects that will support the goals for national health care. Funding the NINR does not increase health care costs but rather seeks to reduce costs by conducting research that promotes efficiency. The government does know how to promote health care, but the purpose of partnering with NINR is to further that goal from a nursing perspective. Chronic disease cannot always be prevented, but research can help improve care and reduce costs of care.
