Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Changing bedclothes daily in acute care settings is an example of traditional knowledge. The practice is not based on research findings, but is rather a part of nursing practice passed down from generation to generation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Federal regulations require that institutions receiving federal funding, or conducting studies of drugs or medical devices regulated by the Food and Drug Administration establish IRBs. The IRB reviews all studies conducted in the institution to determine risk status and to ensure that ethical principles are followed. The IRB does not secure informed consent, review the accuracy of proposals, or secure funding.
