Answer to Question 1

B
The three principles upon which the study of economics is based are scarcity (resources exist in
specific finite quantities and the consumption demand is generally greater than the supply), choice
(decisions are made about which commodities or resources to select and produce), and preference
(individual and societal influence impact which items or services are preferred and which are not).

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E
For a nurse to be found negligent, the following must occur: the nurse had a duty to perform; there was
a breach of this duty, either by omission or commission; the patient was harmed (either physically,
emotionally, or financially).
