Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In a double-blind experimental study, subjects in the experimental group receive the treatment or drug under study. They are randomly assigned and not selected. They should have similar baseline characteristics to those in the control group. They do not receive a placebo.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The principle of justice requires that all people be treated fairly, including equal access to health care for all. Once a benefit is demonstrated, it should be available to all participants.
