Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 4
Nurses make choices regarding evidence-based practice proposals based on content, relevance, reliability, and the ethical implications to their practice. The remaining options are not typically considered when evaluating the global usefulness of research findings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Civil laws protect the rights of individual persons within our society and encourage fair and eq-uitable treatment among people. Generally, violations of civil laws cause harm to an individual or property and damages involve payment of money.

Criminal laws prevent harm to society and provide punishment for crimes (often imprisonment). Common law is created by judicial decisions made in courts when individual legal cases are decided (i.e., informed consent). Administrative law is created by administrative bodies, such as state boards of nursing when they pass rules and regulations (i.e., the duty to report unethical nursing con-duct)
